AOL And Yahoo Merger? Two Dogs Dont Make A Right

Car dogs! | Flickr - Photo Sharing!Reports are coming out that AOL is talking to Yahoo's bankers about merging the two companies in the wake of Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz getting canned. We have an independent source who confirms discussions are happening, but it is not clear how serious they are. If a deal does go through, the likeliest scenario would be Yahoo acquiring AOL, with Tim Armstrong becoming the new CEO. (Disclosure: AOL owns TechCrunch). While a combination of AOL and Yahoo is always an option, with the main advantage being that it solves Yahoo's leadership search problem if Armstrong becomes the CEO, it is not a particularly good option. Two dogs don't make a right (at least in the eyes of Wall Street).
