Who'll save America Online? | |
|
||
| Time: 06:33 EST/11:33 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Message to the new chief of America Online: You've got a mess. On Thursday, Robert Pittman resigned as chief executive officer of the embattled online division, the latest evidence that the titanic $165 billion union of America Online and Time Warner has hit an iceberg. Some of Pittman's duties were picked up by two company veterans, but the search is on for the person willing to bail water at America Online. And it could be a long, difficult search as candidates examine the woes afflicting the online giant. After all, Pittman himself assumed the top job just a few months ago. After former CEO Barry Schuler stepped down in April, Pittman was sent from AOL Time Warner's New York office to AOL's Dulles, Va., headquarters. While Pittman's mission was temporary, other executives within AOL Time Warner were approached to take over, according to reports. None accepted, so the search has broadened to outside the company, as evidenced by the company's recent confirmation that it hired executive search firm Spencer Stuart. | ||

| I would like to see AOL collapse and TW break off. AOL has screwed up everything it has gotten its hands on. I still like Time Warner, though. |

| No one has to save AOL. They're a great company. |

"AOL, despite it being a pathetic ISP, still serves a purpose for the 98% of their user-base who don't know how to unplug their computers."
And how is MSN harder to use than AOL? Thats right, its NO harder. AOL is another example of a Microsoft competitor that tripped on its own feet... too busy looking behind it to see Microsoft nipping at its heels. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Monday, July 22, 2002 at 15:26. |
