I'm one of those sheep that recommend AOL!
This is why, AOL has millions of users who have loyalty to the product, and they're
adding more every day. They're not just an ISP, but they're sort of a community. I can
hear you scoffing at this notion, but it is an incredible value added. A regular ISP is
nothing more than a winsocket connection, what fun is that?
The feature that I like most is the 'buddy list'. You can instantly communicate with
friends and family that are on AOL. I use this feature constantly, and it saves me tons of
phone calls. Plus it's an effective way to communicate.
Even though I'm soon getting TCI @Home service, I'll still keep my AOL with a
TCP/IP connection, which is like 9 or 10 bucks a month.
And remember I'm a telecommunications software professional, so I'm no novice to
technology, and I still love AOL. AOL will soon be ubiquitous and available with cable
access and xDSL, if the information I'm reading is correct. I believe they'll use this
leverage to exponentially increase not only their annuity streams of revenue from added
subscribers, but their advertising revenues.
I'm buying as much as I can with a several year horizon.
