Newscorp Buying Beliefnet?

Apparently Beliefnet is being (or has been) purchased by Newscorp.

Beliefnet, for those who don’t know, is ”…the largest spiritual web site.”. And their social network is a place for people to gather and discuss religion. Since religion is something that people tend to be very passionate about, it’s a good basis for an online community.

This is relevant to me due to the fact that I worked on (and continue to work on, occasionally) Beliefnet’s recently-beta-launched social network.

I’m very much interested to see what becomes of this, since it may or may not have a direct (or indirect) impact on my work in the near (or not so near) future.

No, I don’t have any insider information, but I do see it as an interesting topic to talk about.

p.s. I apologise for the relatively content-less and off-topic-ish post, and I promise that I won’t make a habit of it. It’s just that it’s a bit exciting to be potentially involved in something as big as this potentially is. :)
