...PROS: The combined entities are worth more together than they are apart, which is a plus for investors. Together, they would have the most instant messenger users, the buzziest celebrity news site (AOL's TMZ.com), a leading business site (Yahoo Finance), along with a popular tech blog, (AOL's Engadget).

Out of fashion went renovation programs like This Old House, about restoring details and loving a home for its character. In came playing the real estate market. Sell This House!, My House Is Worth What? and many more flattered the smug certainty of homeowners and speculators that their home equity would shoot endlessly up like shares of Google. HGTV, TLC and their ilk may not have created the real estate bubble, but they certainly supplied some...
