I was surprised to learn at a conference in October that America Online still exists(!), and this (media) is the route that they took. Apparently they own the Huffington Post and Engadget now.

AOL was acquired by Verizon, so in a sense they still exist, but in another sense not. They did own/operate HuffPo, Engadget, and other properties for some time prior to the Verizon acquisition.

Yahoo is more or less going to be folded into aol, actually.

I also heard the recent AOL layoffs had much to do with duplicate positions at Yahoo and that Yahoo will fall under the AOL umbrella.

They even own Techcrunch, which appears regularly on here

AOL also chased local media with Patch.com and failed miserably.

I'd rather have a failed high tech enterprise than owning huffpo and Engadget.

I know you are being glib, but I'd rather survive and live to fight another day. A company with resources can invest, grow, and contribute.
