AOL Buys FleaFlicker

AOL has purchased Fleaflicker for an undisclosed amount of money. Fleaflicker had one solo founder, Ori Schwartz, who built the site from the ground up. AOL and Ori have both been tight lipped on the purchase price but according to Roto Nation the price tag easily could of been high six figures or low seven figures.  Its great to see a solo founder with no venture capital or outside investment get a pay day like this.

It will be real interesting to see how AOL can scale the Fleaflicker fantasy platform.  As most people are reporting AOL purely bought the Fleaflicker product for its technology and not its users.  AOL previously was using Fan Ball for its fantasy application so this has to be a huge blow to Fan Ball.
