It’s been up and down for BeliefNet the past few years. Looks like it’s up for now.

The buyer is News Corp…yes, the company has found faith, well, multi-faith, according to FishBowlNYC and since then also confirmed to us by sources. Beliefnet was launched in December 1999 and has been profitable since October 2002, according to the company…it raised a $7 million round from Softbank Capital in 2005.
