Tacitly significant is the absence of MSN from this alliance. Earlier reports indicated that Redmond was also seeking an alliance of some sort with AOL but had been seeking an overly complex agreement in the eyes of AOL management.
In the agreement, Google will let AOl sell graphically-oriented advertising into Google's network, more of AOL will be open to Googlesearches, and searches for video programming are also enabled.

More turns of the screw are expected during which time investors, users, and analysts will see how many ghosts may haunt the new deal's signees as well as those left on the sidelines for the time being.
