Default ActiveRain sues Move Inc

http://www.inman.com/inmannews.aspx?ID=64711 Don't know if you guys have read about this yet - but whoa! I had no idea Active Rain was looking to sell the network, and looks like the months to come should have some very interesting news reports.

The funny thing is realtor.com's new blog sucks. I would never use it.

I think the big news was who they were going to sell to.

Tough to say but it's hard to put a number on something that is made up of over 50,000 members and the continued success is dependent on those members contributing --- something IMO would not have happened if M.com did go through with the purchase.

There are some pretty harsh posts over there just for the mere fact that the owners of AR planned to sell it to M.

The owners of AR have the right to sell to whoever they want (eventhough I would hope it would not be move). I have always thought that they would sell and the new owner would begin charging the membership a fee to belong. After all ROI is the name of the game.
