Is this the end? As you are probably already aware that Google and AOL recently agreed to a huge business deal. All the details are still being ironed out but AOL is going to get to place ads on Google’s pages and Google is going to attempt to legitimize AOL’s business. I can’t help but think that what we might end up with is a bunch of crappy banner ads and a new set of google coasters. Earlier today Marissa Mayer went on the interview circuit here and here. It appears that AOL ads are gonna be slapped up on Google image search and Google video. Additionally, there is talk of putting more AOL content in the various OneBoxes that Google uses.
This whole thing smells corporate. Frankly, I think it will take Google further than they want to go and stay there longer than they want to stay.
