<p>TechCrunch is reporting that <a href="http://nowpublic.com">NowPublic </a><a href="http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2008/07/nowpublic-buys.html">has acquired Truemors</a>, a rumor site launched by Guy Kawasaki in May 2007. NowPublic bills itself as a"participatory news site." The startup has <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2008/07/10/nowpublic-buys-up-guy-kawasakis-truemors-believe-it-or-not/">raised two rounds of financing</a>. Kawasaki will serve on the company's advisory board as well.</p>

<p>This is one acquisition rumor TechCrunch got right: Guy Kawasaki confirmed it on his blog and Twittered the buyout. </p>

<p>NowPublic is an unusual site to say the least. Besides a story on Sarkozy being behind a break-in, one of the top stories is <a href="http://www.nowpublic.com/culture/10-porn-dreams-filipino-men">Top 10 Porn Dreams of Filipino Men</a>. </p>

<p>The terms of the deal aren't being disclosed. </p><div class="feedflare">
