Keith Jamison: <<Yeah, but will the kids be able to live without their AOL IMs and chatting? That to me is the question>>They won't have to. AOL offers a separate application [with a richer feature set] that non-aol subscribers can use for IM's and chatting...there's no fee for this, it depends on ad revenue. There are also non AOL applications like Trillian, that will not only enable IM on AOL IM but also allow IM's on yahoo & MSN's IM offerings. Trillian download.cnet.com Separate AOL IM download.cnet.com Perhaps some of the recent AOL weakness can be attributed to issues in the music biz...there was an article in NYT today on that. None of the above should be construed as a bull or bear call on AOL. I don't own it & haven't studied it.
