Charles Wang of the New York Islanders

I have big news to report. Charles Wang, my close friend and owner of the Islanders, was the man behind the Oscar-winning Smile Pinki. This film won best documentary short at this year’s Academy Awards ceremony and it is based on his charity called The Smile Train. The Smile Train has helped more than 500,000 children around the world. Charles is a Filmanthropist! A great man doing well by doing good! Way to go Charles.  :-)

Good News for AOL

People spend lots of time on the service and integrating mail; messaging; search; and content with functionality still serves consumers well. See this article for data that will surprise you but doesn’t surprise me at all. AOL is still the stickiest service in terms of time spent online.
