AOL Won't Become MAOL - Softpedia: "The merger between MSN and AOL won�t take place, according to Richard Parsons, Time Warner�s Executive President.

Parsons hasn't denied that there were indeed some talks with Microsoft, which wanted to acquire AOL in order to revitalize MSN and strengthen for the competition with Google.

Since AOL no longer succeeds to generate any profit from the dial-up services, it has to deal now with the challenge of generating as much traffic as possible on its sites, in order to increase the incomes. "
