it’s been a crazy week, but a lot has been going on in the business world (not to mention my world lol)

• CVS Pharmacy bought small California chain Longs Drugs this week for $2.9 billion.  Growing up with Longs, I’ll miss seeing the name around but they’re not one of the better stores so I don’t see it as a loss.
• AOL jumped into life streaming with their acquisition of Social Thing this week as well.  I’ve never used Social Thing much, but I definitely won’t use it if it just gets pulled into their system.
• Affiliate Summit East 2008 in Boston wrapped up – I’m slowly getting all of my coverage posted.  The next time I go to the show I hope to have a better laptop with a better battery and better wireless card so I can blog from the sessions instead of taking notes and blogging later.  So much for live & current coverage!

That’s really about it this week since I wasn’t paying a whole lot of attention to antyhing outside of the summit.  I did pick up some good tools, so the Free Toolsday column should be back soon!
