* Yesterday afternoon, the blogosphere went into a tizzy when All Things D broke the news that Yahoo (YHOO) chief executive Carol Bartz had been fired. Company CFO Tim Morse will serve as interim CEO until a permanent replacement is found. (All Things D via CNNMoney)

* Meanwhile, TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington called for AOL to make one of two moves  after his new venture capital fund, Crunch Fund, came under scrutiny: reaffirm TechCrunch’s editorial independence or sell the blog back to its shareholders. (TechCrunch)

* Hulu is reportedly deliberating over bids from Amazon (AMZN), Yahoo, and the Dish Network (DISH), but it’s also weighing a bigger offer from Google (GOOG), which may be asking for more than the free video-streaming service originally put on the table. (Details remain vague.) (All Things D)

* Groupon might delay its initial public offering, or IPO, because of the stock market’s volatility. (The New York Times)

* Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jen-Hsun Huang predicts the chipset company’s revenues will grow tenfold to $20 billion by 2015. (CNET)

* Conde Nast is spinning off Reddit as a standalone operation. (BetaBeat)
