1: AOL @ Sales

Posted by Nima Mazloumi on 11/11/05 02:56 PM

Now that Yahoo has left Microsoft and Google remain to take over AOL.

Since Google has a cooperation with AOL to provide the search engine for the 20 Mio members and monthly 110 visitors Google has alot to loose (the market for eAds is estimated over 9,9 billion dollars) if they don't take over AOL. But if Microsoft takes over AOL MSN Search will be used and the AOLServer will be replaced.

Let's see who wins the battle. Either way the AOLServer will loose.

If AOL Server is as entrenched in AOL as I think it is, then it will take a lot of time and effort to convert. This is if the scenario you have in mind comes to pass.
