3. What a stupid thing to say!!!
Adrianna Huffington is still in charge.



After the acquisition closes later this year, Huffington will be put in charge of AOL's growing array of content, which includes popular technology sites Endgadget and TechCrunch, local news sites Patch.com and online mapping service Mapquest.

The price that AOL is paying is "really just the hiring fee to get Arianna," said technology analyst Rob Enderle. "This is one of those out-of-left-field moves that actually makes a lot of sense. This could put AOL back on the map."

8. Having a title of boss and being in charge can be two different things.
I'll wait to see how the opinion reporting seen on the site develops over the coming months before I decide who is actually in charge there.

10. I'm sorry...
I like going there and reading that stuff.. For example they show a lot of Jon Stewart clips..and the unusual and bizarre. Sometimes I catch news from there, that I had not seen before. Yeah theres a lot of schlock(sp?)but its fun. Of course, if AOL has it now, I expect it to turn into a glorified Drudge Report type website.

DAMN IT!! ISN'T THERE ENOUGH RIGHT WING CRAP around?
