Aol has gone from suck to blow. I love URLesque and many of the people who work there. What a shame.

URLesque was a unique gem in the crazy internet. I will miss it.

Wow, what a shame. Here’s a quote from the article…

All told, some 30 brands will be “integrated” into other properties seen as stronger by editor in chiefArianna Huffington. Among those to be absorbed are Politics Daily (folded into HuffPost Politics), Walletpop (folded into Daily Finance), Urlesque (folded into HuffPost Comedy), Luxist (folded into Stylelist) and TV Squad (folded into AOL TV).

Oh no! Urlesque and TV Squad, we’ll miss you.

Does anyone have the full list? Looking to know the status of AOL News specifically.
