AOL is going to use MSN's search engine, cutting off about $380 million in advertising for Google, 25% of it's income.

This might force Google to be a bit more generous towards publishers.

There is a HUGE difference between M$ buying AOL and the two working together. Please double check your information next time.

AOL and Microsoft just cant accept that theyve been beaten by a website that has 14 links, 6 colors, no images, and one form.

Hehe, I'm surprised Microsoft hasn't bought AOL before this. They more or less bought every single competitor except Apple...

I hate AOL and their overpriced services. I'll be glad if they're gone. MSN's launching it's own publisher network in the near future as well. Google's got a lot competition.

Why is everyone treating this like Microsoft has bought AOL because they havn't, they wern't planning to buy them they were planning to buy a stake in AOL. This is not planning to buy AOL! Understand?

Microsoft were also talking to AOL to online partnership but nothing happened, it might but the talks broke down.
