USA Today Pop Candy on “Zombie Girl”
Monday, August 17th, 2009And AOL Content Blossoms
Monday, August 17th, 2009Read this article in the New York Times by clicking here. It sheds light on AOL’s fast growth in content and the launch of new brands. And it also shows how AOL is hiring top notch talent from MSM properties as it grows and monetizes these properties.
The future of publishing is online and AOL is well positioned to play a leading role in content, nesting and launching mega new online brands. I am proud of AOL’s work in this regard.
Admit It - You Didn’t Think AOL Still Had This Many Email Users, Did You?
Monday, August 17th, 2009I still use AOL mail. My two primary email addresses are at an AOL.com domain and I am not afraid to admit it. And after all these years, Gmail just nudged past AOL mail in terms of users. AOL remains in the 4th spot. Yahoo, Microsoft, Google and AOL. AOL mail is quite good, easy to use and fast.
When I look at the large lead that Yahoo has, I could kick myself. All those AOL users that cancelled their paid AOL dial-up service and couldn’t keep their AOL email address, guess where they went? Yep, right to Yahoo. We fed that beast and made it huge. What a key strategic blunder. When you go check your mail, you go to their portal and generate clicks and visits and ad impressions.
But AOL still has size and heft in communications with both great positions in mail and messaging. AIM and ICQ are still the best instant messaging services out there. AOL must re-commit to making mail and messaging better. Kill the spam; tone down the ads; and start to market again. Click here to read TechCrunch on AOL mail.

District 9
Monday, August 17th, 2009Went to see District 9 this weekend. I am kind of speechless. I didn’t know what to expect and was blown away. This film is an oddity. There are no stars; very different production values; and a big budget but a dirty camera filter and unbelievable special effects that push the story along. And I’m betting a sequel is coming within three years.
You will either love or hate this film. It is doing quite well at the box office. It is a political thriller with aliens. You will never look at sea food the same way again.
