AOL Profit Up, They May Have A Future

Cynthia Brumfled at IP Democracy writes about Time Warner's quarterly earnings report, focusing on the AOL division.

While AOL's overall revenues declined by $398 million (from $1.957 billion to $1.458) as the subscriber base collapses in on itself, its advertising revenue increased 40%, or $157 million, to $549 million. As a result, while total AOL revenues fell, profits rose 27% to $542 million. That, to me, means AOL is transitioning well from its old subscription revenue to new advertising revenue, and that they will ultimately make it out of this tough phase intact, and a healthy company.

Cynthia's got a very detailed analysis of the numbers, so check out here post.
