#22Wonder who's going to scoop the TechCrunch buy out price, since that's usually TechCrunch's job.
May be Venture Beat? or GigaOM

#23That post is such a canned press release it's untrue. [insert name] CEO, commented: blah blah natural complement... Blah excited ... Blah great future together.

Some rumors on Twitter are saying AOL whipped out $25m.

The acquisition? Yes.
From AOL? No.

#26Interesting follow-up to the talk of companies being acquired yesterday at disrupt. Arrington was surprised that Conway et al seemed to not have a problem with companies who were content with being acquired at less than billion dollar valuations and dramatic "change the world" dreams.

#27The only problem is AOL has driven every acquisition into the ground: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_AOL But still, congrats to the TechCrunch bunch.
Weblogs Inc seems to be doing okay, not sure if this would be much different.

#28I wonder if TC was owned 100% by Arrington. That would be a big check in the mail. Hope the rest of the writers there get some dough.

#29I'm absolutely certain I will be downvoted for this, but I'm really saddened about this deal. Well...
Congratulation to the TechCrunch team; my condolences to TechCrunch.

#30But I thought Yahoo! were making content plays . . . .
Perhaps they only make moves for blue collar content?
