Revolution Health Network, the online health-care business launched by former AOL chairman Steve Case, is in discussions to merge with Everyday Health, a marriage that would join two of the three most-visited online health information networks

Sources familiar with the discussions said that the merger was still in the negotiation stage and that Case's role had not been decided. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the companies had not authorized anyone to disclose details of the private talks.

merger not acquisition?

Friend of Sandman

After Steve Case reviewed the unique economics of the UE/UR merger on this board, he realized he can acquire "just the assets" of Everyday Health and leave the liabilities to the original EH online community. Supposently, the EH community won't have right to the "content" on the combined RHNEH site, but they will be left with the http address to sell and distribute the proceeds amongst themselves.

(just kidding!! couldn't resist)
