Latest AOL.com Rumor: Partial Spinoff with Help from Private Equity

Jason Calacanis has maintained good enough relations with some of his former peers at AOL to get some inside intel, once in a while. Valleywag is reporting that someone tipped off Calacanis - who sold his Weblogs Inc. to AOL for $25M before running Netscape for them - that Time Warner is looking to unload AOL with the help of private equity investors.

Bear in mind, Google plunned down $1B for $5B, implying a $20B valuation.
