Around The Blogosphere I was browsing the web today and came across a post on JohnCow which revealed the identity of the new owners of the popular making money online blog, which has changed hands about 3 or 4 times in the last year or so.

The networks main focus is the 125×125 banner format which makes sense since this is the most popular ad size amongst bloggers at the moment.
