iMedia: Boom, Bust, Build Part 2

In an interview with iMedia, AOL Chairman Jonathan Miller admits that AOL subscribers don't find the "walled garden" of AOL content a big attraction, and that opening up that garden to the rest of the internet shouldn't have much of an impact on them. Miller discussed a range of transitional issues with iMedia's Lee Watters, as the media giant lethargically integrates itself with the rest of the internet. On search, AOL seems perfectly happy to provide a layer on top of a real search company’s results. Currently, it uses Google, although Miller hinted at interest in Microsoft’s upcoming efforts.
