AOL To Acquire Mashable?

mashableMashable has overtaken TechCrunch as the largest tech blog. It is no wonder why AOL might be eyeing on Twitterville’s favorite blog. The deal is still a speculation, with no mention of the acquisition amount. Founder, Pete Cashmore has declined to comment on this issue but insider information from AOLers suggests that a deal is indeed ongoing.

From Gawker:

“Mashable’s proven ability to generate great numbers and game Google and Twitter is part of the appeal, then, our AOL insider tells us. The site excels not only at writing Google-friendly content but also at earning a flood of links on social networks, most notably Twitter.”

Is it a good time to sell now? Or should Mashable continue with its dominance? Regardless, Mashable definitely deserves their success today.

Just wondering how AOL would continue and increase Mashable’s success so far if the speculation is true.
