AMERICA ONLINE INC said its membership now exceeds 16 mln. The company said it took only five weeks to add its most recent one million subscribers, its fastest such jump ever. "This record pace of growth underscores the strong momentum behind AOL and all of our other interactive brands," Bob Pittman, chief operating officer, said in a statement. "Consumers increasingly are finding our complete, easy-to-use package of connectivity, community, content, context and commerce is the best way to go online." In addition, the company said its Digital City is strengthening its lead as the No. 1 guide and resource to various cities and communities, in the United States. AOL said the December 1998 Media Metrix Report said Digital City reached more people than Citysearch-Ticketmaster and Microsoft's Sidewalk combined. (Reuters 11:16 AM ET 02/09/99)
