Huffington Post, the liberal-leaning online news site that has been one of the Internet's start-up success stories, said it agreed to a $315 million buyout late Sunday night from AOL Inc., the elder statesman of online access and digital content.

This has to piss off all the writers who made that site what it is. I'm laughing too at all of AH's tweeting about the champaign meetings she's having with AOL execs today. If I wrote for that site I'd be pretty irritated.

I can't believe they're letting the Huff broad takeover AOL's news content. Goodbye AOL.

Btw, I love the part: "Liberal-leaning online news site" LOL. More like "Completely batshit crazy leftist".

AOL? You mean that didn't die somewhere back around when Bell Telephone broke up?

I believe when Time Warner kicked them out on their asses, they threw them a wad of cash that they've been using to "reincarnate" themselves with.

Additionally, this cash "bonus" to Ms. Huffington should allow her to get some more plastic surgery. She's getting a bit more wrinkled lately. According to Wiki, she's now 60 years old.

I don't understand how AOL is still in business... Why do people still use AOL?

They use them for the free e-mail accounts, or read the news on their home page. I don't believe AOL has paying customers for Internet service, though. That was shut down a few years back.

Cripes, they should have been fined for polluting the Earth several years back with that major dump of CDs as they tried to give away 30 or so free hours of access; then, they made it nearly impossible for you to cancel your account with them. Bastages.
