It looks like the AOL – MSN talks are back on. According to Reuters, there’s a push to get it done by the end of the year.
I like this deal. On the surface it looks good for both AOL and MSN.
For MSN in particular, it eats right into Google’s market, in that MSN would supplant Google in providing search data to AOL. It would also obviously affect the distribution reach for Google’s adwords.
Wonder where this leaves AOL’s next version of Netscape? I would be surprised if AOL continued to try and build new versions of the browser.
