AllthingsD.com just posted a story on how one shareholder of DemandMedia, Michael Blend who already received 2 million shares of Demand as part of the compensation for the sale of his former company Hot Keys to Demand,  just sold another company to Demand.

AllthingsD writes:

“Demand Media’s recent purchase of technology company RSS Graffiti is good news for Michael Blend, who owned 40% of the start-up” which Demand just purchased for $16.4 million, “primarily in cash”.

Michael is not just a shareholder of Demand but its executive vice president for special projects.

I have meet Michael on several occasions and he is a very smart, highly likeable guy.

Congrats to Mike.
