    AOL set to cut Bebo loose.

    Just two years after AOL acquired teen-centric social networking site Bebo for a paltry $850 million, it is now set to close it forever.

    AOL had hoped to boost it's profile and membership to enable it to become a viable competitor to sites like Facebook & Myspace, but to no avail.

    The purchase of the site was always viewed with some scepticism but those within the industry, and now it seems AOL has all but 'fessed-up and admitted it paid too much for what was always going to be a bit of a millstone.
