Breaking news: Avvo has been acquired by Internet Brands which already owns legal sites Nolo, Martindale-Hubbell, Ngage and Total Attorneys. You can read the first announcement here. Also, go here for comments by Avvo's CEO and here for more information.
This came as a surprise and I have not seen any information on the deal other than what is being reported in the links above. As of now, it seems Avvo's services will remain unchanged, but it will be interesting to see if the new company eventually introduces changes in response to the continuing resistance by many jurisdictions to allowing attorneys to participate in Avvo's "Avvo Legal Services." For more on that controversy go here and scroll down.
UPDATE (1/24/18): Now that Avvo has been acquired, what should we expect? Above the Law has a short article on that.
