 <title>AOL buys KickApps</title>
 <link>http://www.thestandard.com/predictions/aol-buys-kickapps</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ed. Note:  This prediction did not occur under the given timeframe, which the community correctly prediction.  This predition was judged at 0%.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kawa Swisher has it &lt;a href=&quot;http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080314/is-kickapps-next-to-board-aols-gravy-train/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;that negotiations are getting serious&lt;/a&gt;, with a price tag of about $90 million. And as Michael Arrington notes, it looks like AOL is on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/14/aol-on-a-bender-kickapps-may-be-next-acquisition/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;quite a bender in the wake of the Bebo deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a prediction that AOL will announce an agreement to buy &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kickapps.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;KickApps&lt;/a&gt;. Price is inconsequential for the purposes of judging, but would like to hear in the comments what numbers you think are realistic?&lt;/p&gt;
