I blame it on lack of reputable and innovtive upper management. AOL has been digging its own grave since 2000. I blame it on lack of reputable and innovtive upper management.

I doubt it will fold completely, but I'm glad to see that they are struggling... an AOL free internet is a better internet. Wow, do we finally get to see the fall of AOHell?

Of course the truly amazing thing about all of this, especially when you look at the companies now, is that AOL acquired Time Warner, not the other way round.

Most of the time it seems like it's Google and...umm...some other search engines. I do agree with you that we could use more competition instead of less. Will a joint Microsoft/Yahoo be able to compete better with Google than they could separately? Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure AOL going away will make much difference.

No competition means less innovation and it looks like it's going to be easier now for the Internet to become as expensive as every other communication medium.
