AOL and Yahoo are considering merging, rumours say. Many have tried before to combine the two companies, to no avail. It would do Yahoo well to be led by AOL CEO Tim Armstrong, as they have been having issues with leadership after Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz was fired recently. I think this is a splendid idea, as it will solve Yahoo's problems with finding a CEO, while simultaneously having one of the best companies in the Internet business. This could turn out to be one of the best merges of all time, and we should track the progress of this developing merger.

Motorola Mobility this morning announced that it has set a record date and a meeting date for its stockholders to vote upon a proposal to adopt the previously announced merger agreement with Google, which proposed to acquire the smartphone, set-top boxes and video solutions company for $12.5 billion (or $40 per share) in cash last August.
