Biz, Tech: Time Warner’s ready to drop AOL like a bad habit

  • AOL was a haven for newbies that was fairly popular, distributed too many free CDs and ran Netscape into the ground. source
  • AOL was big enough in 2000 to buy out Time Warner for $106 billion. Then Time Warner became bigger than AOL again. source
  • A decade later, AOL has completely lost relevance and Time Warner’s planning to spin them back off. Good riddance. source
