Remember AOL or America On Line? It used to be the top ISP on earth and I remember taking the floppy disks that they sent me and recycling them. That saved me $10 if I got ten of them. These days it owns The Huffington Post, TechCrunch, Engadget, MAKERS and AOL.com. Though it still has a significant dial up Internet business. That makes the purchase of AOL by Verizon which has just been announced interesting. Verizon will shell out $4.4 billion for AOL and I am guessing that it will use it for digital content so that they can set themselves apart from their competition.
This should be fun to watch.
