NBC Universal Buying iVillage
Media giant NBC Universal recently paid $600 million for iVillage, an Internet company catering to women. What do you think?

"And all this time I assumed NBC didn't care about my need to lose weight."
Philip Korf,
Landscape Architect
"I run a website NBC might be interested in buying. It also appeals to women. Who like other women. And cake batter. In unorthodox places."
Kevin Patrick,
Insurance Underwriter
"So iVillage will be owned by NBC Universal, which is owned by GE… I'm totally in the lead on ‘the six corporate conglomerate degrees of Thomas Edison.’"
