I am on AOL for historical reasons. I will now leave.

AOL couldn't make the online news thing successful with the resources of TIME Magazine at their disposable, but they'll make it work with HuffPo?

I guess TIME has no prestige left and HuffPo is the "hip" source now.

I started blocking HuffPo a year or more ago so I'm not "tricked" into visiting it and giving them ad views.

“Arianna Huffington is selling the Huffington Post to AOL Inc. for $315 million in cash.”

About $320 million more than it’s worth.

I always hated AOL, and the Huffing and Puffing Post. I never read either anymore.

I’m going to REALLY not read the hell out of either now.

First of all, I hope that none of you are still with AOL for your Internet service. They’re absolutely worthless!!!! Just use one of the major broadband services and surf and e-mail on your own. You’re all smart enough to do that without AOL.

Second of all, what is the Huntington Post? It’s a BLOG! Sure it’s the number one rated blog on Technorati, etc., and it has all Arianna’s money behind it. But it’s still a blog, and an unreliable one in terms of information and opinion at that.

Heck, I run a blog—a business/professional blog. It has reliable info and opinion, and is very well respected in its sphere, but it’s sphere is very small compared to the Huffington Post or the Daily Beast. It has no ads—I want it that way. Nevertheless, perhaps I am missing in terms of ways to legitimately make money off that blog, given what is happening with blogs nowadays. We shall see.
