This is just speculation, nothing more. But it would seem to be a natural; Yahoo doesn't have a blogging tool (while both Microsoft and Google do). Six Apart now also brings into the mix the large LiveJournal community, which could be integrated into Yahoo's own family of communities. Yahoo also brings a lot to the table for users of those services, itself having probably the best designed community services on the web. And the blogging sites provide an outlet for text ads, now a better revenue generator than ever.
