It wasn’t just Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer meeting in New York last week.
According to several sources close to the situation, Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes rounded out the trio of chit-chatting execs, presumably gathered to discuss possible partnerships and other deals between and amongst the companies whose digital assets are among the largest on the Web.
Although the possibilities are numerous, exactly what Bostock, Ballmer and Bewkes-let’s call them the Busy B’s from here on out-were cooking up is unclear.
But for Yahoo (YHOO), Microsoft (MSFT) and Time Warner (TWX), which owns the AOL online service, it is a meal that is probably long past due.
That’s especially true given the struggles each has had with his online assets of late.
