Product- and pricing-comparison service TopTenREVIEWS acquired Imaginova's consumer-media division, parent of Space.com, LiveScience.com and Newsarama.com.

TopTenREVIEWS describes itself as "a privately held technology-review Web site covering software, Web services, consumer electronics and entertainment, offering millions of reviews in more than 350 categories," and it will use the three sites it acquired to expand and enhance its coverage, combining the four sites in its TechMediaNetwork.

TopTenREVIEWS CEO Jerry Ropelato said:

This acquisition expands TopTenREVIEWS' coverage as a trusted technology adviser and strengthens the company as a source of technology news. We see strong potential for growth in traffic and revenue as a result of the synergy between the sites.

And TopTenREVIEWS president Stan Bassett added:

Creating TechMediaNetwork is a natural progression in our company's goal to create a more comprehensive network of technology and entertainment news, information and purchasing advice. Our new tech network broadens our ability to educate people on a wider range of topics from astronomy to health to computer security.
