After weeks of secret strategizing and planning about a bold new future for AOL--interrupted only by an occasional press release complaining about how crappy a job Time Warner management is doing--Carl Icahn and team have finally leaked word about how they're going to save the erstwhile colossus: By merging it with another second-rate portal.
Details, it is said, will be released next week. Excuse us if we don't wait on the edge of our seats.
People actually use AOL for their ISP. That is amazing!

Maybe these people can't figure out how to cancel their subscriptions, don't use it, and just get dinged on their credit card bill each month without noticing it.

These are the same people that voted for Bush 2x and believe Sadam was responsible for 911./

Well, Icahn etc are not exactly internet strategists or new media pundits.
If it's a short term bounce to Time Warner's stock they're after (what else could it be) then they will head this way and someone will pay up - Microsoft???
They should realise that everyone else is strategically meshing media with technology, not separating it.
