Know more about Yahoo-AOL combination- Oath

While Twitter went berserk with the nomenclature of  AOL-Yahoo merger entity-'Oath', AOL CEO Tim Armstrong stepped in to explain few Whats and Whys. In a big disappointment for some, you won't see any Oath Mail or Oath Sports, dude.

"The Oath brand is a brand that stays behind the scenes," AOL CEO — soon to be Oath CEO — Tim Armstrong says. "The real brands that we're going to be promoting are things like Yahoo, Yahoo Finance, Yahoo Sports, TechCrunch, Huffington Post."

Speaking to TechCrunch, Armstrong told that the company never meant to pitch Oath as the new face of an AOL/Yahoo merger. Instead, it was intended to exist as a way to “create an open lane for each of our bands to have their space and to have a connectivity behind them.” So Oath basically, is a B2B front under which Verizon can pitch its various brands to other businesses, while maintaining the individual value of its different content brands.

Armstrong also said that the company will take a final call over the executives and come up with a list in around a month's time. Over whether or not Marissa Mayer will make it to the list, he merely said he and his team will put the right people into the right job.

Oath is the net result of Verizon's $4.8 billion acquisition of Yahoo — which it will merge with its AOL operations. Armstrong says users of Yahoo products will be able to keep using them, but they're probably going to see a lot more cross-promotion of content and brands owned by Verizon.
