AOL Search potential

    Anyone have a sense for the opportunity the new AOL search platform will bring?

    I expect its predominantly female demographic will add value as did Google's tech enthusiast slant years ago. Also, though AOL hasn't been the hot commodity lately, it is still sizable and access to its audience through search can't be small potatoes. Yes?

    I added some thoughts to my blog

    Heh, I never noticed you was here Brien, I created CometQuery which you posted about ;). Anyhow I feel AOL can't do alot while still powered by Google, they have the limit of providing nothing ABOVE google. It is just a skin.

    I heard AOL intends to enable video in Search so Google is the backend onto which they plan to enhance.

    And damn! You proved my fear about my blog name! My name is Paul O'Brien so I was going with the play on SEO & O'Brien; obviously people can assume it means my name is Brien. I need to rethink my own marketing strategy...

    they need to develop their own search technology because they are pulling results from Google. They do have a lot of visitors so it will be interesting if they decide to
