Yahoo and AOL suddenly close to merging?

Yahoo doing anything it can to stay out of the hands of Microsoft

By Nilay Patel

Yahoo's done its best to fend off Microsoft's agressive advances until now, but it suddenly looks like the struggling company might be getting some help -- both the Wall Street Journal and Reuters are reporting that the Yahoo is "closing in" on a deal to merge with Time Warner's AOL division and partner up with Google on search advertising. Yeah, that's pretty major, and it would probably do something about those declining shares Microsoft's been making noise about. The idea is for Time Warner to sell AOL to Yahoo and make a large investment in the new company, which would probably be valued at around $10B. There's apparently a lot of work left to do on the deal, and it would still have to be approved by Yahoo and Time Warner shareholders, but it looks like Yahoo is no longer stuck taking Ballmer and Co. to the dance.

I would be so happy if AOL was bought by another company, and Yahoo....I don't particularly like MSN either...

I use all but Yahoo, and I don't like AOL cause it's ****, and so is Yahoo. But Microsoft produces **** to, although MSN looks the best and AIM is the most basic.

Why buy Yahoo stock? AOL is falling fast. Without AIM they'd be close to nothing.

Because the way it is looking, someone will end up buying them so that means merge.
When two big companies merge you always make money.
