      One dying giant trying to merge with another. Maybe with their powers combined they can form a black hole in the internet.

          AOL has a smaller market cap than yahoo?

          Can someone elaborate on what that term means for me, does it mean AOL has less money or less market share ?

                      Market Cap is the value of a business that is traded on the open market. You get a company's market cap by taking the price per share and multiplying it by the number of current outstanding or held shares.

                      It's one way to look at a company's value. It's not all encompasing, but in a nutshell it's what the company is currently worth on the open market. By saying AOL has a smaller market cap than yahoo it's saying that the value of aol is sig less than yahoo so they will need to bring in another entity to make the aquisition happen. In other words, they can't swing the cost on their own steam.

                      Hope that helps.

                          "Smaller market capitalization" ... (share price * number of shares outstanding) ... which is to say; the number of dollars worth of stock that have been purchased and are currently held by the market.

                              AOL is 1/10 the size of Yahoo, yet people are so excited, Yahoo stock is up 10% today ($16.75)

                                  Yes, this is just a little disturbing. Maybe then they can relaunch geocities and private chat rooms.

                                      My father's new wife used to be a top manager for AOL and she lost her job a few months back with every thing that was happening...AOL has been going down forever.

                                          Same with yahoo. Yahoo seems to have a good grasp on free email (similar to how many people still use aim from aol) but dropping paid inclusion, bringing in Bing, etc... goddamn, they are fucking up.

                                          Paid inclusion was such a beautiful thing. Fucking yahoo

                                              AOL is trying to take over Yahoo, AOL search is powered by Google.

                                              Is it really Google that is trying to sabotage Yahoo/Bing?

                                              Does that make any sense, don't know much about the current aol-google connection.

                                                  This has been brought up all morning long in numerous places, its a pretty heated discussion, though in the end, seems very odd in over all scheme of things. Google could just buy yahoo, bing and aol if they ever so choosed to in my opinion.
