OK! and Buzz Media Join Forces
If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em: OK! magazine’s Web site has languished in “virtual obscurity” online, compared to People.com or Usmagazine.com, so it’s joining forces with online network Buzz Media, mediaweek reports.

OK! logged 195,000 unique visitors in March. Buzz got 9 million.
