Google, Comcast in talks to invest in AOL

Google and Comcast are in "serious discussions" to buy a minority stake in Time Warner's America Online, a source familiar with the matter said today.

AOL has been in discussions with both parties separately, the source said. But in recent weeks, Google and Comcast have had discussions to possibly make a joint investment in the online unit of Time Warner Inc.

AOL is also separately in talks to create a joint venture with Microsoft.
