As a person who used AOL back in the day, how did AOL get themselves in this branding mess in the first place? I know they lost my business 11 to 12 years ago to DSL provided by SBC (now part of AT&T) but I also couldn't wait to see them go. We called SBC Send Big Check at the time, because DSL was damn expensive. MORAL OF THE STORY: don't trash your brand for a quick buck, consumers remember that stuff.

Horrible timing.

But props to TC for treating AOL, their parent company, just like any other one and spilling the beans as soon as they could.

Alternatively, props to AOL for disguising a press release as an internal leak.

They should consider dropping a line to their parent company.

"Modernizer.js. This is unacceptable in 2010. This is why people laugh when they hear AOL, I'm sorry, Aol. http://imgur.com/F8gGS.png.

Not even a friggin override ability. Are you kidding me?
