I'd forgotten that AOL had bought Huffington Post and Tech Crunch. Still, I can't say that it makes much long-term sense to me.

Seems like it would be better at this point to buy AOL, move all the useful acquisitions or from under them, and then detonate AOL except for the IM client and the email services.
