So this is VERY exciting news!
I didn’t want to break it any earlier so as not to jinx anything. But after many months of discussions, my site has been bought by Microsoft who’ve been looking to get into the pop culture blogging business to compete with some of the big boys and to have some more cross advertising potential with their other branded services.
I am happy since I am no longer poor as the deal is for just over $150 million and a piece in the company.
I’ll continue to write for the blog but there will be a few more staff writers as well. We will be posting the job opportunity here on the blog to open up the chance to the loyal readers first.
The site will be going over a redesign so it fits the Microsoft brand more closely.
