TechCrunch now a sister site of Download Squad
There were rumors about it yesterday, but today we find out that it actually happened: AOL has purchased TechCrunch, one of the biggest blogs (and blog networks) in the technology industry. AOL CEO Tim Armstrong announced the news this morning at TechCrunch's Disrupt conference, noting that TechCrunch will become part of the AOL Technology Network that includes sites like Engadget, Switched, The Unofficial Apple Weblog, and Download Squad.
Read more about it in the press release posted on TechCrunch by Tim Armstrong himself.

This...is probably bad. The last thing we need is Michael Arrington spreading his filth anywhere else

I have to agree. Apparently, he's not such a great guy.
A few weeks back TC was going to do a logo a day from other
sites. The problem was that Reddit had already started doing. Soon as
other people started pointing that out, he went on a banning spree. I
have to agree with MercurialMadnessMan:

Also, a normally funny and calm guy gets pretty angry:

Just a few examples. I just hope he doesn't come over and pollute DS.

Good news, everyone! Maybe AOL will fire Arrington, and he'll be out on his ass without his new media empire to terrorize other new media empires with. Hey DLS, remember the last.fm fiasco? Glad to be a sister site with TechCrunch?
