[...] But in episode 1.0, the hurdles were still forbidding, with even the simplest website requiring arcane knowledge or at least the cash to hire a talented bounty hunter/coder. This, of course, favored the same old giant corporations who went by such names as Time-Warner and AOL and, sometimes, poorly conceived unions between the two. [...]

I remember that press conference with Case and Levin. I had never seen so much simultaneous camera flashes in my life. I think that was one for the record books. I think AOL was trying to become a legitimate media company because they didn’t have much more than a hugely inflated market cap. Levin and TW just seemed to be snowed by the money and felt that the internet bizarro media world was the new media physics. The stockholders were paid well, but I think after the initial glow began to fade, they asked themselves WTF were we thinking. Levin and Case didn’t last long after that. I remember thinking at the time that AOL didn’t have anything to offer TW. I think it was a case of AOL being really desperate to justify that market cap. They didn’t make much money and they didn’t own anything more than 20 million dial up customers, which weren’t like lifetime bank customers. People were jumping ISPs every few months back then.

Tim appears the right guy for the job just under enormous pressures. may all be too little, too late. Tim knows that without some serious rebranding AOL is never gonna stop bleeding.

No Aol brought Time Warner for 160 billion in stock

AOL was able to take over TW at a time when the dot.com era was happening. AOL was able to garner funding to buy out Time Warner but was unable to manage the bigger more successful company.

Why is AOL’s subscription still that high? I can’t believe they have over 5 million subscribers. That’s crazy!

I wonder how many they had in the boom of AOL?
