AOL Plans to Sell or Close Bebo, its Social Network
According to a variety of sources, AOL plans to sell or close Bebo, the social network that it acquired two years ago for $850 million.
In a memo sent to employees, AOL Ventures Executive Vice President Jon Broad, said, “Bebo, unfortunately, is a business that has been declining and, as a result, would require significant investment in order to compete in the competitive social networking space.”
He added, “AOL is not in a position at this time to further fund and support Bebo in pursuing a turnaround in social networking.”
