Update: Arrington is “not employed by Aol” according to this report quoting a Huffington Post spokesperson.

TechCrunch has an interesting story up today, one focused on something that's coming, but it's unclear that it's here yet. The story is called "The Phone Call Is Dead."

Late last week, it appeared Yelp and Google were close to a deal for Google to acquire the local reviews website.

However, it seems Yelp has had second thoughts, as late Sunday TechCrunch, which first publicized the deal, reported that Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman personally walked away from the deal.

TechCrunch is reporting eBay is trying to unload StumbleUpon, citing "sources with knowledge of the sale process." eBay is apparently using Deutsche Bank to find a suitable buyer, and the asking price has not been disclosed.
