Yahoo Inc and Time Warner Inc are "closing in" on a deal where Yahoo would merge with Time Warner's AOL Internet unit, brushing aside Microsoft's bid for Yahoo

Bad deal for Time Warner. I would've thought they had learned their lesson with AOL.

Time Warner / RoadRunner have been already serving (read: force-feeding) Yahoo ads to the DNS users of the network (read: 99% of all their cable Internet users) - for all non-resolving domains, Verisign-style.

Didn't they learn anything from that 'great' AOL deal??!

It seems those guys get bonuses for almost any deal...

AOL is a sinking ship with a big hole in it.
And yahoo want to join them!!

Gravity & Black hole pulls and the force is way toooooooooooo much.

Hmmm..you guys may not be taking into account the infrastructure of Yahoo and the monetary backing of Time Warner, a media giant...this might turn out nicely for everyone.

Two Failures Don't Make A Success. Remember KMart and Sears deal?

AOL is not a sinking ship at all. Just look at all the brands they have either developed or have bought over the years. I'm not saying I would buy their stock but I don't think they will go under either.

I think a lot of money will be spent and zero progress will be made
