How much is a group blog and news aggregator worth these days? According to an unnamed source "who was briefed on discussions but was not permitted to speak for attribution" in a New York Times article about The Huffington Post today: "the company has at least looked at the value of the site if it were put up for sale, and a figure around $200 million was used."

Well, it's no Facebook, but maybe it's time to start paying those bloggers?
