AOL Buying Bebo

Susan Mernit has a good view of AOL buying Bebo. From a widget perspective, Bebo has always been a bit of a closed book. Hopefully that will change now. What really caught my eye is this repeated meme that the Internet is 'less about destination and more about ...' Fill in the dots, it will all become clear over time. But for sure, it's no longer about destination - hence my end of the URL meme.
