First it was rumored at $40-45 million, then almost inked and now it's official. Will be fascinating to watch how they integrate it -- the Skype-Stumbleupon combo could be a compelling experience.

I love my S.U. site and I have met some wonderful people there from all over the world. I hope none of that changes. I also love my clipmarks and the people that I am getting to know.

Maybe ebay should have donated that 75 mil to the auto industry bailout deal .. it would have simplified eBay Motor categories yeah? ...
