Review: AOL should "gut it out" and partner with News Corp. Together they could have a "winning" array of content. Unbeatable! News Corp. could include Look (and a "stable" of publisher/media company sites) providing search, articles content (to & from) and shared revenues for all within a huge, alternate network. User estimate? Try 250 million to 300 million for starters!

Review: I do not hope anyone will be merged with AOL. I want more portals to choose.

Review: While Microsoft may be the front-runner I think it will be harder to merge Microsoft and AOL as they both have huge inflexible bureauracies.

Review: No one has mentioned the tractor-trailer sized data centers that GOOG is going to roll out. This will affect content and would be an attractive area for TWX to consider in their negotiation.

Review: Nuts. Was hoping Microsoft would buy AOL outright and get rid of the left-wing Time Warner,
