Is the recent truce between Microsoft and AOL Time Warner really that meaningful?
AOL Time Warner is close to announcing a series of deals that will turn its Netscape.com Web site into a portal for content from its far-flung media empire.
Microsoft last week launched a hostile US$44.6bn takeover bid to buy Web giant Yahoo. If the deal goes ahead it will be the latest in a line of multibillion-dollar mergers and acquisitions the tech sector has witnessed in recent years.
After having snubbed Microsoft's initial takeover proposal, reports have indicated that Yahoo is still counting on the software giant to mount another acquisition bid, should its attempts to play the field backfire.
Google and Time Warner on Tuesday announced that Google will invest US$1 billion for a 5 percent stake in the media company's America Online unit as part of a partnership that expands their existing search engine deal to include collaboration on advertising, instant messaging and video.
