do u think that yahoo buy aol?

I'm too small of a fish to speculate on such matters.

I thought Microsoft had converged already. Maybe they have just become partners in the messengers only. Because I could chat with my friends that are using .msn username in my yahoo messenger.

The war of acquisitions had begun and lets just hope that this will do good for everyone specially small stockholders.

all this to defeat Google!

Sure, but everyone knows Google can't actually be 'defeated'. I think they're really just trying to keep up and stay afloat themselves, and if it takes merging various outlets to remain viable, then so be it.
