Here's another interesting acquisition, good thing I'm not the only one to be working through the holidays: Jupitermedia buys Mediabistro for $23m. Can't say I agree with the headline for this article though: 'Website for jobseekers sold'. Mediabistro is much more than that, a valuable network for freelancers prodviding resources, advice and training: a network that sprung out of Laurel's experience of how isolated the life of a freelancer can get. And yes, I'm a member and have found it quite useful over the years: not so much because of the parties and job listings, but because of other resources like training, advice on pitching different publications etc.
