What is AOL’s major revenue stream? Is it still mostly from internet connectivity or advertising? I think these are good ideas

It is a move to the right direction. Probably they will manage to attract more users. At least I hope so.

I’m not sure if it seems like “yesterday” Taylor but I have fond memories of AOL when it first came to the UK. It was the fastest dial up out there and was loved by many.

Unfortunately, as broadband developed, the clunky interface lost it’s appeal.

Seems like more of a hindrance than anything. Utah SEO Pro's last blog post..An Interview with Utah SEO Pro (Jordan Kasteler) by Martin Bowling

Both strategies, grow big and get smaller have its followers. I personally think that smaller units make for better management and growth. Nicole Price's last blog post..Good Deals on Hair Products

That's funny that they don't even mention Google. This seems like a great idea in that it lets those divisions focus on what they do best and not get caught up in the rest of AOL's parts. Patrick's last blog post..New Toy Safety Law Not So Green?

Well, I guess it is good that they are trying to do SOMETHING. I mean, about 10-12 years ago, they dominated the market. But with the fall of dial-up, and the rise of other stronger companies, it has definitely been sidelined… I don’t know if this ‘reinvention’ will work, as I am not personally interested in anything that they offer… reinvented or not… but.. who knows?!

And yes, AOL is a search engine, a sorely underused search engine. I get about 20 visits from them a month, lol. Compared with thousands from Google.

It is indicative of the sheer dominance of Google when AOL doesn’t even list them as the competition, but Yahoo and MSN. IT seems that the three of them are squabbling for the scraps, so to speak! Focusing on what works best and is most profitable does make sense, and here’s to AOL and their new babies, Mediaglow and People Networks.

I think it’s a great move… Primarily because, right now, they can’t fall much further and they need to do something, anything, to revitalise them. I wish them luck and applaude their shift in direction.

Should be a good move. AOL has been sliding down the pecking order of ISPs and hopefully this will revitalise them

I think it’s a good move – they’re losing the search game (thought they gave up years ago) and I rarely visit them to “learn about things”, so it looks like they’re losing on both fronts. They have the resources to create content that attracts consumers… I doubt they have what it takes to compete with Google in search.
