AOL May Own Weblogs Inc. – But It Doesn’t Have An Exclusive

Interesting addendum to the Weblogs Inc.-AOL deal … Writing effusively (how else?) about the Yahoo-Gawker deal, Jason Calacanis says AOL owns the company but he can distribute the content beyond AOL’s properties: “In fact, one of my conditions on doing the deal with AOL was that I would be able to form whatever partnerships I wanted to — including with Yahoo, Microsoft and Google! AOL is all about making our services as open as possible — just like Yahoo. … We’ve been working on getting our blogs integrated into Yahoo News and Yahoo News Search for a long time. Heck, we’re going to run Yahoo Publisher Network on Weblogs, Inc. as well–why not?”
