AOL FOR SALE! - Should Microsoft Buy AOL Taking Chunk Of Searchers And Advertising Revenue From Giant Google?

Posted on March 12th, 2008 by Bompa

I just heard that it’s official, AOL is on the table for a deal.

“Time Warner Chief Executive Jeffrey Bewkes has said that Time Warner is open for a deal on AOL. Bewkes acknowledged weakness in the AOL business and told the Bear Stearns media conference Tuesday that Time Warner was open to combining AOL with another company “whatever configuration makes it the strongest and the most valuable.” - Techcrunch.com

What could that mean? AOL has a crap load of customers, mostly average families.

AOL uses the Google search results which serves Google’s advertising.

I think Microsoft should jump on this deal.
