You watch, AOL will do a complete overhaul to become the next Facebook, once Facebook makes the final tweaks to become the next MySpace.

The circle of life.

They sold patents and plan to give the money to investors...

Doesn't that sound like they're gutting the company?

Why? If you're a failing company and you find yourself with an excess of $400M, INVEST IT IN YOUR COMPANY! Get some new project(s) going, advertise, do something constructive...

I guess that's $400M investors wont lose when the company dies...
