Thurs - Microsoft & Time Warner chat over MSN & AOL

Rumours seem to be emerging that Microsoft and Time Warner are in conversations about possibly combining MSN and AOL. They may even be contemplating a full blown merger. This seems to make a lot of sense. After all, with the rise of Google over the last few years, one has to ask the question of whether there is room for four global, big brand portals.

Yahoo and Google seem to be the fitter two, so a coupling of MSN and AOL could be sensible. Given that the two of them are also ISP's, whereas Yahoo and Google are not, provides even more credence to their union.

We'll keep a watching brief.
