As an ex-Yahoo and a New-AOL?er, My Thoughts on One Portal to Rule Them All

This is going to come as a shock to you: But suddenly and for the first time in years, I really care about the future of AOL. And, because I used to host a show on Yahoo Finance, the story floating around about whether or not these two has-beens of the Internet (sorry, new overlords) would be better together has special resonance with me. I don't totally agree with Henry Blodget when he says that it's a no-brainer because they are the exact same company. (Btw, I used to co-host that same Yahoo show with Blodget. How can a business that employs thousands and thousands of people be so small?) Nor do I agree with Mike that working for Yahoo is a fate worse than losing hundreds of millions in acquisition value. Here are my totally selfish, biased reasons why I hope the deal does happen or doesn't happen.
