Well, if Jason and the others are staying on as management, there will be little to motivate them right? I mean they already got their millions. I bet AOL helps them with their video ventures.

According to all the latest articles, the only thing AOL will be giving them is traffic and ad sales support. Besides that, it's going to remain the same with Jason staying on as management. The questions is what the bloggers will be paid.

I think they sold out WAY too soon. $25mln for 40 million monthly pageviews is super cheap. What suprises me is that Webloginc is only generating about $2 million in revenue per year with $1 million of that being Google ads. There is a lot more potential there and it was wasted.
