Good for you. I haven't looked at AOL for a while, but called my friends after the Post article. Apparently, nobody there is concerned, though the article sent waves of doubt through the company. One of the people I know actually worked on some of the accounts and said that most of the stuff in the papers was fiction, released by some disgruntled employees who were let go. I have no idea, given that employees want to believe the best in their company. But the advertising turnaround is real. Shame they haven't taken advantage of it.

Jay, I always look elsewhere for signs of the state of the health of the world economy. Sports -the poster boys- of the inflated economy are deflating real fast. Football teams are asking for players to give up the high salaries. Teams are being put up for sale. Formula One teams -THE inflated sport- are dying like flies. Forget AG, forget Secretary of Treasury, O'Neil, forget technology, look to the entertainment and sports industry... There is where you can see to where the world economy is heading into.
