Case to Step Down from AOLTW

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the first-rat-to-flee dept.

squiggleslash writes "Reuters is reporting that Steve Case, the CEO of AOL Time Warner, is resigning, to be effective in May. He'll still be part of AOLTW but as a director responsible for joint strategy. There have been various moves afoot to oust the man who masterminded AOL's takeover of the media giant: the Time Warner part of the partnership wants control whereas Case came from the loss making super-ISP. Case quitting could be bad news for technologists given the current battles between content providers like Time Warner and the Internet and computer industries."

    I'm confused, how'd they do that?

    Heh... Whoops... Guess people can't take a joke. For the record, the joke wasn't intended to start a flame war, or to thrash homosexuals. I was making fun of AOL users. I thought it was AOK to mock AOL on Slashdot. Yikes.

    my first website was a horrible thing i made on AOLpress some 12 years ago.

    it was the place I got my first email address, and learned about chat rooms, browsers, and what the net was.

    AOLpress has been replaced by dreamweaver, and i now design some fortune 500 websites, am a SEO professional, and the web has given me a very easy life doing smart work that I enjoy.

    Im not entirely sure I'd be doing what I'm doing, making good money at it, and enjoying my life they way I am if that 'easy to use' window had not been opened for me years ago to spark my interest.
