Well, here's my thoughts on the article....

Small point but -- Planet Out Inc. Holdings includes more than just the two sites listed.

And 2ndly I'll comment on this part:

"The only downside, Fetyko said, is the risk that PlanetOut will fail to integrate the combined companies as quickly as promised."

They might be able to do so but I think that they they will have major problems.

From what I've experienced they say they will do something or fix something but they have a hard time executing.

I suspect that like a lot of corporations they cut big corners by not having enough skilled employees and decission makers.

While they're out chasing the BIG deals they're forgetting the details and the people who promote them -- thereby losing easy money.
