Viacom's MTV buys teen online community website quizilla.com
10.16.2006, 12:03 PM



NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES (AFX) - MTV Networks (MTVN), a division of Viacom Inc said it has bought quizilla.com, an online teen community website, from Gorilla Nation Media LLC for an undisclosed sum.

The website is a user-generated community of teen authors (14 years and up) who create and share quizzes, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, polls, and other creative content.

Quizzila will join the MTVN Kids and Family digital portfolio that also includes teen sites The-N.com and NeoPets.com.

The purchase comes on the heels of Google Inc's buy of YouTube last week as media and technology firms snap up community websites in a bid to reap the rewards of their substantial youth market.
