Microsoft to buy AOL?
The New York Post reported this morning that two sources familiar with the situation said that Time Warner is in talks with Microsoft about selling some of its share in AOL, combining MSN with AOL, which would change the dynamic of the search world dramatically. At the time of this writing, neither Time Warner nor Microsoft had gotten back to WebProNews with a statement.
The Post also mentioned however, that while talks are most advance with Microsoft, they could fall apart and that Time Warner has also talked to both Yahoo and Google although the wizards in Redmond are the preferred choice.
