@Mac,

“If I were Google I would consider them a reasonable purchase.”

Reasonable = $100M

I always thought that deal was a charity case to prop up a friendly competitor rather than a true investment.

Of course corporations aren’t supposed to do such things, but there really hasn’t been an reasonable alternate explanation (make it up in volume?)

AOL e-mail is actually pretty good in my opinion. In terms of functionality it surpasses any but Gmail and they have never engaged in the style of lock-in that Yahoo and Microsoft do (“pay us and we’ll filter spam!”). AIM and the Google equivalent already work well together and there are still a lot of AIM users out there. Worth something.

If I were Google I would consider them a reasonable purchase. They have a lot of dial-up users who don’t have many options, and what is better for dial-up users than Google’s light weight interfaces.

I’ve always thought Google could merge in the AOL infrastructure pretty easily, while at the same time Microsoft could take Yahoo and grind it into a fine blue powder, chasing its users elsewhere in the process.

There is still a lot of consolidation that could (and probably will) happen once more people reach “capitulation” on this whole econolypse thing.
