  1. I agree with this article in that if the two companies merge they will be have a much stronger force and be able to successfully compete with large competitors such as google and facebook. By pulling their resources together they could be extremely successful since they will no longer have to worry about competing with one another!

  2. Companies that merge together usually have a stronger force in the industry they sell their product(s) in. In the end which will result in greater profit. I agree with this article that a stronger impact will be made successfully if AOL and Yahoo merge.
