That is why he can keep repeating atrocities at AOL. Let's face it -- Tim and his cohorts are grabbing at the "strategy du jour" that they hope can save AOL and make them heroes. But the strategy changes so often, it's clear that management has no idea of what its doing -- and to make matters worse - management's FLIP FLOPstrategies end up hurting AOL's investors as well as the livelihoods of journalists -- those that AOL claims are front and center.

But Arianna isn't, nor are the shareholders. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Well, Armstrong is quite invested in Patch — as its founder. But Arianna isn’t, nor are the shareholders.

A big, public company will focus on something and pour money and resources into it...right up until it doesn't. There will be a new business plan every 90 days, and the decision makers will not be personally invested in the individual brands way down the ladder. You'll make Baristanet work with every last bit of energy you have; they'll make Patch work until the day someone decides not to.
