It's all about the synergies baby: Happy AOL Day! Keep your ears and eyes open because it's big news day at the foundering media behemoth AOL Time Warner. Like everything in 1999/2000, this company was going to be different. It would seamlessly integrate old with new, digital with analog, and Instant Messaging with cable t.v. Well, okay it hasn't exactly been seamless. More like fruitless. Funny, what this hi-tech merger came down to was people. People from Time Warner didn't like being lorded over by the upstart AOL. Of course at the time, AOL was the darling of the economy and Time Warner was as good as dead. Anyway, it will be truly interesting to see whether this ship can be righted. Watch closely, because as goes this baby, so go the rest.
