AirAmerica On Line.

Short the stock. It will fail in my opinion. Tack a liberal agenda to a tech dinosaur and you get a clever, liberal failure.

slate.com is perhaps jealous?

I noticed this mumbo jumbo before but never new it was a scam by the web sites for hits. This business model has the same ability to work as Pets.Com did. Looks like the altruistic, liberal Zsa Zsa found a sucker to unload this turkey to and run with the cash.

Now, more than ever, AOL is a virus.

Even if the searches are artificially skewed, what does that really mean? I sure as heck don’t click on the first link that comes up just because it’s the top result; I read the little paragraph and look at what the link is. I’ve gone through several pages of results before deciding if any met my criteria.

I doubt anyone, unless they are really naive about searches, would just automatically click the first link.

There is no reason whatever not to actively boycott AOL. They are allied with the dark side.

It’s as though being merely irrelevant wasn’t good enough for them.

As I have alwasy stated, there is only one thing missing from AOL and that is an “H” between the “A” and the “O”!

I tried the search and two of the top three hits were for the Huffington and Puffington Post, they’re smarter than I suspected.
