Yahoo and AOL appear ready to take Oath — as new name after sale. The best thing about the new name that Yahoo and AOL will reportedly adopt after being merged under Verizon may be that you can't yodel it. Business Insider cited unnamed sources who told it that when Verizon's long and twisted acquisition of what was once known as "Jerry and David's Guide to the World Wide Web" is being renamed, although it's not clear that the Yahoo moniker will disappear entirely. Enlarge The Yahoo name may be going away after the Sunnyvale company merges with Verizon's AOL,… more Noah Berger/Bloomberg BI's sources said the new name will be "Oath," which set off some fun on Twitter, where AOL chief Tim Armstrong seemed to confirm the new identity. "Billion+ Consumers, 20+ Brands, Unstoppable Team. #TakeTheOath. Summer 2017," he tweeted. The general conclusion of those on Twitter about the new name is: "You Got Fail." "I hope every opt-in ad-sharing setting is now prefaced by #TakeTheOath," tweeted Verge reporter Nick Stat. Another Twitter user who goes by the handle of "Burnt Avocado Toast" tweeted, " Our Oath to you: We will not sell your browsing data* #TakeTheOath *1st 2GB of browsing data only. It's fair game after that." To which a lawyer named William Wilhelm at Morgan Lewis Law responded,"Oh goodness... This will never stop. Please consider re branding already. #TakeTheOath #privacy." But it could have been worse — like "Ya-who?" or "AO-hell." bizjournals.com
