WASHINGTON (Dec. 17) - Rebuffing aggressive overtures from Microsoft, Time Warner has agreed to sell a 5 percent stake in America Online to Google for $1 billion in cash as part of an expanded partnership between AOL, once the dominant company on the Internet, and Google, the current online king.

Rest of it is in link, its long but worth reading.
Where will Google smite Microsoft next?

Re: Google to buy 5% of AOL
In the coming weeks, be sure to see them come out with their own version of AOL called Google Online or something else mediocre but ascerbic.
And AOL can't say ****!
Aw yeah!
Google.  |

Re: Google to buy 5% of AOL
AOL still has a very large base of users even though it has been dwindling (around 20-22 million at last check)

Re: Google to buy 5% of AOL
I got rid of AOL almost 2 years ago, and I can say for me atleast, I don't miss it one bit.

Re: Google to buy 5% of AOL
We still have our AOL account but we use Comcast. It's nice to have my old e-mail address for so long...  |

Re: Google to buy 5% of AOL
For some reason.. in 5 years I see the "Google Box" after buying out Microsoft and entering the console industry themselves.
