AOL Nears Deal With Google

Looks like a done deal now.

WSJ.com - AOL Nears Deal With Google:

What does this mean for the rest of us?

If AOL would select MSN, that would be a huge shake up for the industry. Possibly a good thing. But this will just tick off Bill.

TW reported on WSJ saying that AOL was sticking w/ GG and MSN was just used as leverage to get a better monetary deal... Bill IS gonna be pissed.

side note: my dad is the schwal.

AOL is smart, i guess they just used Bill to get more from Google.

I did a define:schwal on Google and no results were returned, so I have to ask...what is a schwal?

[schwal]

schwal is an old-time userid/email name from the days before any std was developed. In fact, it is short for schwa(rtz) l(eon); and Schwal is Barry and Ronnie Schwartz's father.

If you google leon schwartz, you will find me in first position. But my (much more famous) namesake consumes the rest of the page. Please help me figure that out........

....and Let the schwal be with you!

not sure which is funnier, reading the passage, "from the days before any std was developed.", or contemplating the slippery nature of AOL.
