Are we seeing the beginning of the end for AOL? Is this the start of the destruction of an old building for a bright and shiny new one? Questions I have been asking myself this morning as I scan my news feeds regarding the industry. I see that Techmeme has a link to a story about the guys at the top scattering in the wind by Rafat Ali, and now Marta Wells talks about the AOL annual layoff of sorts handing 450 employees their pink slips to put in their Christmas stocking.Â
I’m not sure if AOL came to offer me a top spot within the company I would be too quick to jump into the game. It seems that change in focus and business plan is not what everyone else in the company believes to be the proper fork in the road. I could use a new salary after the holidays. I’m still trying to set aside the money to get that first gift on my daughter’s wish list! In the meantime, I won’t wait for the folks at Time Warner to be banging down my door with any offers this week.
