Yahoo/AOL merger a Done Deal

Silicon Alley Insider blogger Henry Blodget is reporting that "Yahoo's acquisition of AOL is now a done deal, a source close to AOL tells us." The official annoucement could come tomorrow, he says.

Blodget notes with some glee "the amusing sighting of a full-length Yahoo 18-wheeler semi-truck near AOL's Dulles campus," per his source.

Near .... Hmmm.

It should be noted that Blodget's last big story was the relay of a iReport item which claimed that Apple's Steve Jobs had suffered a heart attack. Apple quickly shot down that story, and Blodget spend a lot of the rest of his day sparring with commenters and critics about his news judgement.

But, we're pulling for him that he's correct this time since we're right out there now on the limb with him ...
