Well, now Mary Hodder has the scoop - Ask Jeeves is buying Bloglines. The annoucement will follow on Monday, Mary reports. Mary notes that Ask is already feeding blog search results to Blogines via their blog.

Couple of weeks back, you commented: "Could Bloglines one day exert the kind of control that Google does? I bet in the near future they might. Especially if they need start monetizing their users or they get swallowed up by a bigger fish." Further thoughts?
