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