: ever wonder where aol went :

... once upon a time I had more AOL e-mail addresses in my address book than anything else. I've wondered a number of times whatever happened to AOL, besides going AWOL?

In the '90's and early '00's AOL literally carpet-bombed North American cities with free installation disks in the mail. Now I can't find a single myaddressis@aol.com in recent years in my in-box, not even my mother-in-law.

Well, the answer may be here, in a FastCompany article. As Jim Collins would say ... "maybe they forgot to confront the brutal facts?"
