Time Warner eyes AOL stake sale to Microsoft: NY Post - Internet Services - Internet - M&A
HUGE NEWS!
Basically, if MSN buys AOL they could use the subscriber base as a launching pad for a new Web-based operating system – which is the holy grail for Google. If MSN can beat them to the punch and get a large market share it would be much harder for Google to enter the market.
It’s all based upon search. Search is the catalyst that will drive computing for the foreseeable future. The company that controls the most search will control the interactive medium. Soon search will be integrated into EVERYTHING and you’ll get tired of reading a book because you can’t search for exactly what you are looking for. And with Broadband set to be distributed through power lines, any device that has a plug will be online. So, your toaster could help you find the optimal bagel for it’s specifications, order it for you with some cream cheese and have it delivered to your house before breakfast.
We’re giddy over here at Zunch. Right now, Google has somewhat of a monopoly on search dollars and somewhat lacking customer service. I’d like to at least be able to legitimately threaten to pull them off of a buy. So come on MSN, let’s get it started!
