Re: Give up the ghost AOL!
AOL is correct in saying that they are adding new users all the time except if you take in the fact that most new accounts are from the uninformed, elderly, and free disk users who fail to see that AOL is overpriced and bloated.
You still see the millions everyday that have been enlightened leave the AOL flock.
Simple math as quoted in the article "the company has added 340,000 new subscribers in the third quarter, but has lost hundreds of millions".
AOL and broadband equals to late in the game.
AOL = Dodo
Nuff said. |

Chicago, IL | AOL didn't have hundreds of millions subscribers to begin with. The author probably meant hundreds of thousands.

Well the way AOL is going, I am surprised they have not lost one hundred trillion-bajillion-kajillion users!

No...that's a quote from "Scott" to Dr. Evil in Austin Powers after Dr. Evil says why as for a billion, when you could as for....a MILLION.
