It's interesting--Google has the best reputation among techies and AOL probably has the worst reputation.
But so far my experience has been very positive. I still have near-absolute control over the development and creative direction of the site.
- biohacker42 18y agoMaybe Google think they know everything and AOL just feels lucky to have found such a beautiful jewel?
- fleaflicker 18y agoThat's somewhat true--I've noticed that AOL is very aware of their uncool image and they don't overtly brand their properties with the AOL name (e.g., TMZ, MapQuest, Moviefone, ...).
- kajecounterhack 18y agoWow I had no idea Mapquest was owned by AOL. I'm sure there are alternatives but usually thats the service I use...I don't think I'm so shallow as to switch services just because its AOL though. A good service is a good service.
