is AOL going to go bankrupt
 

I think they are still the most popular ISP. Within the last few years they made so many members but now alot of people are getting broadband and AOL cant offer broadband directly. What do u think will happen to AOL

they havent been doing well for years, they do have aol dsl though fyi

I never understood what the big deal with aol is. The advantages over "normal" internet connection seem very limited.

yeah but to get AOL broadband you need a broadband connection first and then pay another additional fee to use the AOL software.

Dont forget that the majority of us do use AIM on a regular basis, so although probably all of us have outgrown AOL there was certainly a need for it and there continues to be one. Its good for introducing people to the internet, it makes a good portal, its an easy way to use email without knowing what POP or SMTP server is, and its good for instant communicating and chatting. Grant the majority of us would never use AOL now, but I got my start on AOL nearly a decade ago, so believe me there is a definite need for it, maybe not for us now, but certainly for other individuals.

I dont think so!!
