At first glance, America Online Inc.'s (NYSE: AOL) $388 million acquisition of (Nasdaq: MOFN) prompts a resounding, "Huh?" But rest assured Ticketmaster-CitySearch (Nasdaq: TMCS) got the message.

It would be easy to argue that AOL (financials) simply has the cash, got bored, and needed to buy something, but AOL's all-stock acquisition of MovieFone makes sense as the Web becomes more local.
