Paid Content: If They Mated in 2003: The Year the Weblogs Got Hitched

MarketingFix gets acquired? Well, not quite yet. Wishful thinking at this point. However, this article on Paid Content puts forth some potential M and A marriages between the weblog world and the more traditional online media world. Having launched just two months ago, MarketingFix has gathered enough attention to warrant a mention on this list:

MarketingFix (a relatively new blog on the online marketing sector, but an instant hit) : Potential acquirer: eMarketer. What could be more meta than that: a meta research company buying out a blog, which by definition, is meta. Another one: MediaPost.

Hey, we'll entertain all discussions at this point. Joking aside, the rise of the weblog will become serious business in 2003. Those who move quickly will be the winners. Check out the whole list. It's very interesting.
