"In the Lycos deal, the traditional media company played the lead, but here it's the Internet company," says Mike Goodman, an analyst at the Yankee Group. Not only can AOL afford Time Warner, but it has the reputation and cybercachet to keep its stock price high. "It's a very conscious decision that the company is named AOL Time Warner and not Time Warner AOL," Goodman adds. "It's the only way they can get those Internet valuations." Folks, the only ones that dont like this deal are the mo mo players, and aol hasnt been a mo mom play for awhile so who cares. The ones that matter like this deal and it will be reflected in the share price when all this dies down. I am amzed that people like to live in the past as much as they do. All one has to do is look forward and it becomes apparent just how big this deal is and how good it is, and what it will do to the entire industry.
