In an interesting choice of words, the Thing Labs blog (blog.thinglabs.com) refers to this as a "merger". "We are pleased to announce that as of today, Thing Labs is merging with AOL. This deal has been in the works for a little while, and we’ve been dying to tell you all, but today it’s official!"
Arrington also called Techcrunch's sale a merger at TC Disrupt this morning.

Wow! I was wondering what would happen to Brizzly after Twitter's new web interface. Brizzly has nice interface for in-stream media and so. I thought their key point was user interface. And I was thinking what would a startup (client) do, whose core selling point is better UI, in case when a platform itself comes up with a better UI. I wonder how these acquisitions happen? Probably Brizzly knew they will die soon? So…
Also, several of Brizzly core team members are xooglers as is Tim Armstrong (AOL CEO)
With their record of taking cool companies down the drain, I worry about this AOL shopping spree.

What I love that the new Twitter UI has: * infinite scroll * in-line media (embedded videos/images)
Why I might not make the switch yet: * their mute feature (useful when following someone who's tweeting way too much irrelevant stuff) * they crowd-source explanation of trending topics (offers a quick way to find out what's going on w/o doing a search)

I use Brizzly on a daily basis, but I might switch to the "new" Twitter. And I too wonder if they'll die off.

I'd rather not be shown every image someone tweets.
