We’re hearing that Metacafe, the not-quite-as-successful-as-YouTube video site, has been bought by The Collective, a full-service entertainment management company in Hollywood.
All Things D is reporting the deal is “essentially completed.” Terms of the deal, including the fate of Metacafe itself as a destination, have not yet been disclosed.

That said, Pulse is launching its new video functionality with 30 premium quality media partners, such as The Daily Beast, Motor Trend, Fox Sports, ESPN, Allrecipes, IGN[...]
