Story: Microsoft in talks over AOL merger
Confused Microsoft?
We were led to believe that the principal reason Microsoft wanted Yahoo was for their search technology, well, AOL doesn't have any search technology, they get their search results from Google, so not exactly an alternative.
If its users Microsoft are after, I don't think AOL is a top destination for a lot of people, especially outside the US. On both (users and search) Yahoo would make more sense as an acquisition.
