BlogMedia, Inc., a US based corporation has acquired the Blog Herald. This is BlogMedia’s first acquisition of 2006 after launching its blog network in early January. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“The Blog Herald,” said BlogMedia Senior Vice President Matt Craven, “has a well-established history and reputation within the blog and technology communities. This acquisition allows BlogMedia to become the news destination of choice for readers seeking technology news & information about blogs, blog networks, and professional blogging.”

Duncan Riley founded The Blog Herald in 2002 and co-founded b5media with Jeremy Wright and Darren Rowse in 2005.

Duncan will continue to post at Blog Herald for the next two weeks while the transition of the Blog Media’s team take place.

The Blog Herald was auctioned in Sitepoint but unfortunately fell through the first time. An interview with Duncan at Syntagma reveals more story behind this.
