Cuban Sells Blog
Search Engine from Red Herring covers marketing firm Think Partnership
planning to purchase the IceRocket blog
search engine, which is coowned by billionaire
Mark Cuban. Terms aren’t disclosed,

seems to be hoping the purchase will help it spread its affiliate marketing work
out further, perhaps to help form a new blog advertising network. Press release
is here.
