You got to love Gary's title for his SEW Blog posting Sorry Bill? WSJ Reports Google Near Deal on AOL. The WSJ article starts off;
Time Warner Inc.'s AOL and Google Inc. have entered exclusive negotiations about deepening their advertising partnership, shutting out Microsoft Corp. which has been wooing AOL since January, according to people close to the situation.
Gary writes; "If Gates and Ballmer wanted a deal with AOL (Time Warner) for Christmas it appears that they're not going to get it."
All those rumors that AOL would switch to MSN adCenter I guess may be false. We are still not 100% sure which way they will go. How exciting!
And best of all, my dad, posted a thread on the topic at our forum under the title AOL Nears Deal With Google.
