    Any doubts about Michael Jackson's megastardom should have ended after news of the singer's death tripped up Google and crashed AOL Instant Messenger, Wikipedia, TMZ and, of course, Twitter. A survey of the epic traffic: More »

    Is There a Coporate Suicide Plot Behind AOL Spinoff?

    The AOL-Time Warner Saga Bookends One Sorry Decade

    The 21st century dawned with news that two media megaliths, AOL and Time Warner, were to merge. Critics howled that the vast tentacles of a combined AOL-TW would subsume us all. Today, Time Warner confirmed it's spinning off AOL, ending a business saga that defined whatever you're calling the 2000s. More »

    Another day, another hare-brained scheme to buy Yahoo. This time, the player isn't Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, but former AOL CEO Jon Miller, who now runs a venture-capital fund. But the prospect of a deal seems as far off and fanciful as Microsoft, which spent most of the spring and summer trying to buy Yahoo, coming back to the negotiating table. Miller wants to buy Yahoo, but is having trouble coming up with the money, the Wall Street Journal reports. Is there no one serious who wants to buy this company?

    If only Yahoo would listen to Kara Swisher, she might stop emailing me

    "Yahoo striking a Microsoft search deal first makes more sense" than closing a merger with AOL, writes overproductive BoomTown blogger Kara Swisher. Tracking the complicated, self-conflicting relationships between Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft and Google is like trying to read Prince Valiant without a cheat sheet. Swisher's latest megapost fills in more details, but doesn't lead to anything more definite than "both Yahoo and AOL have to get to the core of what they are and are going to be." Ah, more layoffs.

    The heady rush of access can cloud a reporter's brain. Nicholas Carlson, late of Valleywag, now at Silicon Alley Insider, had stalked his prey inside New York's Natural History Museum: Randy Falco, the CEO of AOL. After Falco made a presentation to media buyers, Carlson buttonholed him and got his scoop: Falco is of the opinion that, with Jerry Yang out as CEO, President Sue Decker will swiftly follow. But he missed the real story. More »

    When will Time Warner give up on AOL?

    Time Warner has reported its third-quarter results, including AOL's numbers, and they are dismal. Internet-access revenues were down 26 percent, a loss everyone more or less expected, since the dial-up business is moribund. But advertising sales were down 6 percent. AOL management can't blame the market meltdown for this one, since that had barely started by the time the quarter ended. October through December, one assumes, will be much, much worse. More »

    If Scott Moore leaves Yahoo, does that mean it's buying AOL?

    Scott Moore, the head of Yahoo Media Group, is leaving the company, reports BoomTown's Kara Swisher. A bad sign for the company: Moore ran some of Yahoo's most successful operations, including its news, finance, and sports websites. Why is Moore leaving now, having survived most of Yahoo's annus horribilis with his charm unruffled? The first conclusion I'll jump to: Talks with Time Warner to sell AOL to Yahoo are advancing, and Moore does not like his position in the merged entity. Update: Swisher writes: "Dead wrong guess as usual. Talks are slower than ever. He had the top job over Bill Wilson." Well, why didn't you say so in the first place, Kara?

    Yahoo, AOL still dating awkwardly

    “This is not just unloading AOL for us,” a source close to Time Warner told Kara Swisher. “It is also an important strategic move for our future to get this right.” I love the way anonymous sources lie so convincingly. The truth, Swisher blogs, is both simpler and more boring: Yahoo and AOL don't really like each other. Neither company holds much attraction for the other. Important strategic move means an arranged marriage, forced on both sides by dwindling market value. Which reminds me: We should plot the number of Google engineers whose pending marriages have been "temporarily rescheduled for 2009."

Since taking the company off of Jason Calacanis's and Brian Alvey's hands in 2005, AOL has seen visitor traffic climb 122 percent a year on average, from 1.4 million visitors to 13 million. Revenue went from $6 million to $30 million off of 13 million visitors. You'd think AOL could afford to pay their bloggers to blog.

    They say, of fastly dropping markets, that one should never try to catch a falling knife. In trying to sell AOL, Time Warner could be letting a sharp blade fly at Yahoo, the most likely buyer for the troubled Internet business. Will a deal happen? If so, for how much? No one really knows, but everyone wants this clumsy mating dance to be over. Henry Blodget floated and then retracted a rumor that a deal was imminent, for something in the range of $8 billion to $10 billion. More »

Any Manhattan stargazers care to keep an eye out for him? Update: Kara Swisher now reports Yang has been in New York recently, but not, as our tipster claims, this week She also has lots and lots and lots of speculation about who will run a merged AOL-Yahoo.

    Marc Andreessen has been invited to join the board at eBay. The online auction company has been struggling of late, never mind CEO John Donahoe's assertion that what's bad for the American economy is good for eBay. Andreessen, probably smelling the stink blowing in from the rising tide, stockpiled enough venture capital to last Ning through a "nuclear winter." Proving his acumen at swindling investors if nothing else — and he does know how to keep employees overworked between stints at eager, young startups like Netscape and Ning and layoff-happy AOL.

    Liberty Media ready to pay $1.42 billion for AOL dialup business

    Liberty Media CEO John Malone told the Financial Times his company is ready to swap its $1.42 billion stake in Time Warner in order to acquire AOL's dialup business. There's just one holdup. "Time Warner still needs to divide the business," Malone complained to the FT. Though it's been more than two years since Time Warner decided to turn AOL into an online advertising concern and abandon the Internet service provider business, AOL won't be completely split until early 2009. Malone isn't the only exec impatient for Time Warner's book keepers to hurry it up. AOL CEO Randy Falco was overheard last week griping: "When is New York going to sell us?"

    Yahoo wants AOL, for the low, low price of $5 billion

    Every time AOL comes up for sale, the price drops. When Yahoo-AOL merger talks began last spring, the tentative plan was to combine Yahoo and AOL and give Time Warner $10 billion worth of stock in the new company. Since then, Yahoo has weathered both Microsoft and Carl Icahn, and AOL's advertising business — the only reason why anyone would buy it — has stalled. So while merger talks continue, Yahoo now only wants to hand over $5 billion or so in stock, reports BoomTown's Kara Swisher. One reason why the deal might actually happen? More »

    Yahoo dominates Sarah Palin's email contact list

    Sometimes I hear people ask: "Who uses Yahoo Mail anymore?" The answer, of course, is just about everybody. ComScore puts the number at around 260 million people — far more than Google's 90 million. But statistics can feel abstract. Now that a 4chan reprobate has hacked into Alaska governor and "average hockey mom" Sarah Palin's private Yahoo email account and discovered, among other things, her contact list, we have a more concrete demonstration of Yahoo's dominance of Palin's decidedly down-home demographic. Here is a list contains six Yahoo addresses, an AOL address, a Hotmail address and exactly zero Gmail addresses. More »

    “I retain my AOL mail address because so many of my friends and mailing lists have it that it would be a pain to switch.” That's the succinct summary of the 394 comments posted to New York Times Bits blogger Saul Hansell's post, "Who Uses AOL and Why?" Hansell had posted the question because he wasn't sure AOL's latest portal redesign — quite probably offered to him as an exclusive story — was newsworthy. Instead, he came up with a dry suggestion that AOL take a clue from phone companies. It's so crazy it just might work: More »

    AOL lays off 5 to 10, will miss revenue targets

    Time Warner CFO John Martin told investors yesterday that while online subsidiary AOL's ad network Platform-A "had been growing like a weed,'' the company now doubts it will hit its revenue targets. "We have seen some cancellations," Martin told conferencegoers. "It gives us pause in terms of our confidence to ramp advertising in the back half of the year.'' AOL also laid of 5 to 10 employees from its "Shared Services" group yesterday, SAI reports — the only surprise there being the small size of the cut. AOL's recent efforts to combat waning advertiser and consumer interest in its brand include creating a new huge banner ad format and also allowing AOL.com visitors to access email from other providers.

    Updated AOL.com: a place for Yahoo Mail, Google search, wire stories and banner ads

    Time Warner's underperforming online subsidiary AOL updated its homepage today. The biggest change is that AOL now allows users to access their Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail accounts from AOL.com. Along with new ad formats on AOL.com such as photo galleries and video players, AOL also announced new sites for women, pop-culture junkies, and parents of gamers. It's just AOL's latest desperate attempt to recapture the relevance it's lost since it ceased to be Middle America's only way of getting online. Nothing else has worked yet. Analytics firm Compete says unique visitors to AOL.com are down 12.7 percent in th last year, from around 62 million in August 2007 to 54 million in August 2008. And while the rest of the online ad market grew 20 percent, AOL advertising revenues grew only 1.5 percent last quarter.

    The 5 most laughable terms of service on the Net

    Nobody reads terms of service agreements, those legal documents new users have to click a box to say they've read. And the truth is, they hardly matter to anybody but the cyber-rights-now crowd who get worked up by articles on Boing Boing, and the paranoid lawyers at large Web companies who want to avoid money-fishing lawsuits. But sometimes they go far beyond protecting corporate interests into la-la land. Did you know that when you download Google's new Chrome browser, you agree that any "content" you "submit, post or display" using the service — whether you own its copyright or not — gives Google a "perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute" it? Google's ambitions for Chrome are even larger than we thought; by the letter of this license, Google will own all information that flows through its browser. But Chrome's terms of service are just the latest in a long line of ludicrous legalese. More »

    Turns out FriendFeed has clones and that AOL acquired one

    The deal isn't finalized yet, but AOL will acquire Colorado-based startup SocialThing, News.com reports. Best known for a raging party it threw at this year's South By Southwest conference, SocialThing also aggregates an Internet user's feeds and activity from sites like Flickr and Twitter. If that sounds familiar, its because you've subjected yourself to the ramblings of people like Jason Calacanis, Michael Arrington or Robert Scoble who use a similar service called FriendFeed and talk about it a lot. They talk about it a lot because they think its really popular, but the truth is that FriendFeed suggests them as new friends to every user who joins the site. A thought: Wouldn't it be funny if AOL bought SocialThing because AOL dealmakers read too much Scoble, Arrington and Calacanis and so they think FriendFeed is the new, new thing and rushed out to by its closest competitor? Don't put it past the bunch that paid $850 million for Bebo.
