Comments on: Microsoft buying AOL? http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/search-engines/microsoft-buying-aol/ Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:57:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: h57 hoodia http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/search-engines/microsoft-buying-aol/#comment-1772 h57 hoodia Tue, 23 May 2006 03:12:08 +0000 http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/archives/116#comment-1772 I am of the opinion that microsoft will eventually purchase aol. First they are far bigger and have more cash than google or Yahoo. Also they would immediately become probably the #1 search engine in the world. Google presently is the search engine used by aol users on the start page. If microsoft purchased aol you know this would change. This would cut traffic to google by probably 20% and immediately add 20% more traffic to the msn search engine. In my opinion msn has a much better search engine than google anyway. This would only serve to make things better for many aol subscribers. I am of the opinion that microsoft will eventually purchase aol.

Well out of nowehere, Google has offered up $1 billion (with a b) for just 5% of the Time Warner company known as AOL.
