In a great example of Google's superior communication skills, they've posted a statement to their blog that's aimed to quash concerns that the Google/AOL deal will tarnish the service with banner ads, biased search results, and other negatives.

I expected them to address this. Google knows that its success is due to its clear, uncontaminated search results and services, and they plan on preserving that quality.

As users, we've all been burned as capitalist forces have got the best of other companies and their services. Google has demonstrated that you can monetize this whole Internet thing without doing evil.

Just one reason why I'm a Google fan.
