AOL-YAHOO deal, thoughts about it

Posted by Marshall Sponder on October 07, 2008 | Link It

Thinking about the Buzz I’m reading this morning on the possible AOL-YAHOO merger (yes, I am writing on my IPhone and don’t have great spell checking, over active auto-suggestion and no ability to copy an paste a hyperlink, plus limited tagging. Otherwise, I can post what ever I want via my IPhone and now just leave my laptop home, as did today, while at SMX East).

I think a AOLYOO makes more sense, to me, than a MicroHoo, and here’s why. Both are “media” companies and can expand, the culture of both are similar, the business goals, as far as I understand them, complement each other.

Let’s hear more, but I am predisposed to like this deal.
