AOL Lays Off 450 In California

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-luck dept.

bmarklein writes "AOL has laid off 450 in California. The former Netscape campus is going from 675 employees to 300. The San Francisco office, which they obtained when they acquired Spinner (now Radio@AOL), and which housed Nullsoft after their acquisition by AOL, is being closed along with an office in San Diego. 100 employees have been offered jobs in Virginia or New York. No word on how this affects products like WinAmp. Justin, are you out there?"

    Time bought AOL to stifle it


    Ok troll, I'll bite. AOL bought Winamp. AOL bought Netscape. AOL bought Time Warner.


    After the merger, the the value of AOL dropped faster than CmdrTaco's pants when he's got the shits, Steve Case left, and "AOL Time Warner" renamed themselves back to "Time Warner", but it wasn't Time Warner that bought AOL.
