AOL plans to lay off more than 700 employees - some four percent of its worldwide workforce - mainly in call centers, reports the Associated Press. Some 450 workers in AOL's Orlando, Florida call center alone will lose their jobs when the operation is shut down. A spokesperson said the cuts were the result of a decline in members and an increase in users' doing their own troubleshooting. AOL has recently become the coveted object of courtship, with Microsoft, Google and Comcast, and Yahoo competing for a stake or other form of investment.
