Kara Swisher from AllthingsD.com just did a piece on how Demand Media almost went private last week.
From the article: According to sources close to the situation, Demand Media was deep into discussions with a private equity firm to complete a deal that would have taken the online content company private for double its current value.
Read the whole story on AllthingsD it is a very interesting read.
That was a good read, Allthingsd is an excellent site. Thank you for sharing.
I see Berkens pretty much copied your article. $1.2 billion is a lot for that content farm.
