This is probably not a good place to discuss AOL.
But most people underestimate AOL.

Your ISP will not take away AOL's business.
Do they offer a place like the Motley Fool? That is
a place many people addict to. Can you read what Dennis Rodman
write ? You need to go to AOL if you want to.
Many people will still keep an AOL account even if they can
get an ISP account for nothing.

>> the big boys of the retail
bookselling world are joining the fray and they bring a lot of established brand
recognition with them (B&N).

Here is what my take on this one. In fact, I should say
it is from a bullish angle.
You can argue that those big boys will not be able to compete
with AMZN. Why ? Because they already have those retail stores.
Whenever they make a sale on web, their retail store lose a sale.
That is very painful for them. Going all out to compete with
AMZN might mean they become a money-losing
business from a money-making business.
