The former chief executive Dominique Busso of the old Vnunet has bought out the French, German, Spanish and Italian parts of network. The sites will continue operations under the NetMediaEurope banner.

The deal doesn't include Vnunet in the UK, The Netherlands or Belgium. VNU UK, which published this blog, was acquired by Incisive Media last February.

The individual owners will continue to operate shared brands. In addition to Vnunet, there include the European Gizmodo and the Inquirer websites (The Netherlands canned its Inq site earlier this month, but never seemed to put any effort behind it anyway).

In case you're wondering what all this will mean for Vnunet.com and our blogs? Very little. We've been working very hard with Incisive to continue our operations and embrace new media in any way that we deem useful.
