perhaps but you're all forgetting that G recently did a major writeoff of their AOL equity. After getting burned badly (like a billion or so bucks), any deal between G and AOL would be scaled back from a typical G size deal.

I also don't think that "sending" an executive to another company, is enough of an indicator that partnerships will occur in the future. By that same logic, we could speculate that G will partner with Facebook, since Sheryl Sandberg is now the COO.

No matter how we analyze it, we can agree that AOL is much better off with Tim.
