Top Ten for the week of 3/8/2010
In the past year or so since I started publishing the Pulse newsletter, I have recorded 5 executive additions to AOLs corporate executive page that have come from Google. The latest, David Eun was removed from Google's executive page two weeks ago and added to AOLs last week. Will this erupt into a rivaly like we saw with Microsoft / Google a couple of years ago? There were rumors back in 2008 that Google might acquire AOL. Could this be part of a plan to take AOL over in the future?

David Eun, President, AOL Media and Studios at America Online, Inc. / AOL LLC
