Just cause you add your product in thousands of computers and default home pages like the crapware aol really is doesn’t mean your competing, it means your uninstalled in seconds.

AOL sucks.

I cannot believe that any reasoning being would actually be fooled into accepting that AOL is the Internet. But, sadly, there seems to be many that do just that.

I don’t know whether they really stop to think about the extent to which everything they do is filtered and possibly recorded as well. This company has no morals, so if they can think of a way to make money off you, they will do it. MSN/Hotmail and Yahoo are hardly any better, it’s just that AOL has been doing it longer so is a bit better at it.

1. AOL Mobile site actually doesn’t get more traffic than it’s competitors if you accurately count real pageviews.

2. Ask Mr. Falconer what his qualifications are to lead the mobile team. Ask him how he got his job.

3. AOL does not have active conversations with handset manufacturers. Any conversations are regarding AIM and those that Tegic (sold) used to have.

4. AOL Mobile has nothing to do with Third Screen Media. AOL Mobile was never in the decision making process for acquiring TSM.

5. John Burbank is an invisible executive and has nothing to do with AOL Mobile. The fact that he’s from AT&T means nothing.

6. The reason so many open headcounts are open is that most of the existing team have no mobile experience and they are outsourcing development.
