I smile whenever I see AOL actually making use of their merger with Time Warner. AOL should be the HBO of the net, providing exclusive programming made possible by strategic alliances, for a monthly fee. Back when AOL had more home subscribers than straight-up Internet access, this was how things were - the net had very little to offer on Nintendo, Television, etc. - it was about typing in the AOL keyword and being treated to computer media content not available anywhere else. It was actually fun to have AOL =)

If AOL can weigh in that they can be profitable by harnessing 'intelligent decisions' and persue quality additions to their service, perhaps they will also reconsider their aggressive advertising campaigns that riddle their software into one big banner site.
