David Vise has a front page article in today’s business section of the Washington Post on the intense jockeying for yesterday’s loser, today’s winner, America Online. Although it’s been broken up into its component parts online, a very large, cool graphic accompanies the article in the print version of the Post, depicting the four AOL suitors — Microsoft, Yahoo, Comcast and Google — and their various stakes in the outcome.
While Vise sheds no new light for those in the know, he does concisely boil down the basic factors driving the AOL bidding war: Money (always the case), tools, search, Hollywood, access and eyeballs.
