All I can do is tell you my conflicts. You can judge from there. Blog consolidation is a legitimate story and Om owns a major blog network, whether I know him or not.

I miss their old logo and cheery site design. It had character. The current one is bland and typical.

I heard it was around 50 bagillion dollars to be paid out purely in gift certificates to Panda Express.
