At least AOL is trying to find a new business model- who goes to Yahoo, AOL or MSN home pages anymore? Bill seems to be young and smart. If he is that smart, why is he at AOL? Shouldn't he be out there running a Web 2.0 startup that will really have an effect? My take- too little too late. If AOL was a small, private company, might work. As a large public company that is still hated by Time, who is is major trouble- there is NO WAY AOL survives as a top web media company. Like SalesForce and IBM/Oracle. The move to web services has never been driven by an older company in tech. What value is AOL to advertisers if it is a collection of a few minor blogs? Good try for the Long Tail- but too little, too late. With AOL moving away from Portals, that only leaves Yahoo now.
