Tim...

Have you been keeping up with the news?? Maybe you don't realize that Slate has already inked a deal with AOL because it can't find enough people to read it. In other words, Slate is paying AOL to be on its service. Neat eh?

I would love to see MSN provide free access for 10 years. It would be great. Lets get back to reality. It ain't going to happen. Did you also happen to notice that MSFT took some content creators away from CSRV to help build content on MSN?? Guess they needed some help.

I guess Bill isn't as shrewd a businessman as I thought. If there was no money to be made as a "web content aggregator," why did MSFT create MSN. I guess Bill thought it would be nice to burn off a few hundred million dollars for grins. Please, no one is buying that...

You can call Bob Pittman anything you want. I guess AOL has 999,999 more deals to close. He will be one busy guy. Stay short or buy some puts. Enjoy.
