They just have too much money. Like the Yankees, you can never count them out. Here is a good example that the wolf still lurks under sheep’s clothing. The AOL-MSN deal, harks back to the blatantly predatory days where company arm-twisted computer makers to bundle a sub-par browser. Take away 12% of Google’s Ad-revenues, and you have wounded the upstart. Clearly a business win, because on technology they can’t!

If the price is right, wouldn’t it be good move for MSN to tap into the 50 million + AIM/AOL users?

AOL seems to have been spending a good deal of money on content lately.

Would this purchase be a better move for Yahoo?

p.s. Great blog.
