Yes AOL is still alive but for how long? I think almost everyone of age who has been on the net for several years has had an AOL account. How many of us remember all those CD's in the mail? Well AOL may be up for grabs and one source has said it could be yet another struggling Internet giant (Yahoo). This is an ad by a blogger about what is happening to some of AOl's business as the net changes and revenues shrink for AOL. I hope you like it?
AOL launched what they’re calling the AOL Tech Network this evening. It’s a grouping of existing blogs - the Engadget sites, Switched, TUAW and Download Squad, under a new tech content group.
Unike AOL Games, AOL Entertainment and other sub brands, AOL Tech is being branded without “AOL.” A new link on the AOL home page links to Switched, which will now syndicate in content from the other blogs in the network.
This is partly a streamlining of the organization, but it’s also a way for AOL’s sales team to pitch a tech brand to advertisers that has a big footprint. The combined blogs bring in nearly 5 million combined monthly visitors, making it about twice the size of Wired and in the same ballpark as Yahoo Tech.
Of course, 100% of the Switched content is coming from blogs, unlike those other sites.
Engadget has more, and talks about a new design as well.
