Earthlink and Mindspring to Merge

from the ISP-consolidation,-big-time dept

Okay, this was a bit of a surprise this morning. Earthlink and Mindspring have decided to merge. Afterwards they’ll just be called Earthlink. So much for Mindspring’s huge new advertising campaign “you’d be happier with Mindspring”. Actually, what’s funny is I’ve always thought of these two ISPs as just about interchangeable, so this makes it easier in my mind to keep track.
