Heather Green's got the story that local platform Backfence has acquired Palo Alto experiment Bayosphere from Dan Gillmor and that Gillmor will blog for them--If I were an exec at the San Jose Mercury News--or the SF Chronicle--or some other local newspaper, I would run, not walk to make a strategic alliance with these folks once my managers figured out if they were selling me or slashing staff or whatever.

Dan Gillmor seems like a really interesting guy, and I'm not surprised he seems to be much in demand of late. I'd love to have a conversation with him one day - if he is ever in one place long enough to have one, that is...
That great to know...

Backfence "buys" Bayosphere? Really? Isn't it more like Omidyar consolidating 2 less than sparkling investments?
