My how the mighty have fallen... For those of you who know me personally, you know that I spent almost two years as an advertising representative with AOL. It was a great job with wonderful benefits and compensation, but it was short-lived because the company changed it's focus every quarter. Back then, the big plus for AOL was it had over 20 million dial-up customers paying $24.95 a month. That's almost $500 million a month! But, since 2000, they have been losing customers by the thousands every month.
Well, it looks like they are changing their focus once again. Except, this time, it's a major change. They are doing away with their subscription fees. That's right... From now on, you can get an AOL account for free. They are going to go to an all advertising model. Time will only tell if it will keep them afloat, but the great news is this. In my opinion, the only good thing about AOL is the unforgettable, "You've Got Mail" when you check your email. Well, now you can hear it everyday for free if you'd like.
This page gives all the details.
Enjoy and have a great day!
