Companies are actually going in the other direction. Less companies are doing everything in house and they are now trying to focus thier attention and thier resources on thier core businesses by outsourcing as much as they can to third parties. Outsourcing gets a black mark in the media but if your main business is making widgets, it makes sense to let another company run and optimize your website and your network.
Internet Brands is just a holding company of profitable internet businesses - there is no synergy or even core market or core focus. Thats what scares me.
