Comments on: Some Bright Spots For AOL, Yes, But Also More Gloom Ahead http://paidcontent.org/2011/08/10/419-aols-comeback-hits-some-hurdles/ The economics of digital content Fri, 13 Dec 2013 18:54:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: ed http://paidcontent.org/2011/08/10/419-aols-comeback-hits-some-hurdles/#comment-84869 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:05:42 +0000 http://paidcontent.wp.gostage.it/2011/08/10/419-aols-comeback-hits-some-hurdles/#comment-84869 Wow, AOL drops 26% and this article is an attempt to add cake frosting to dog poo – it won’t work. I like the nostalgia of this article from the dotcom days where internet companies lose money quarter after quarter and someone still write a fluff piece about the company performance..
