Yahoo is rumored to be in talks to buy UK social network, Beebo for $1 billion.

And Gartner is predicting that the population of virtual worlds will be 50 million by 2011.

So I suppose it's fitting that today I'm heading to New York to a ClickZ conference on Advertising in Social Media.

If you're a reader and you happen to be at the conference, ping me and we can say hello.
