Skype Founders Assembling Killer Team For New Online Music Startup	Now that they got what they wanted – a renewed stake and board representation in the Skype that will be spun off eBay soon – the Scandinavian duo Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis can divert more of their attention again to the latest Internet venture they’re putting their weight behind: Rdio.

Kiersten Hollars Never Actually Joined Digg. She Was Just On Loan From Brad Garlinghouse	Brad Garlinghouse, a former SVP at Yahoo, joined AOL as President of Internet and Mobile Communications two months ago. And he’s clearly doing a little housekeeping, and forming his own exec team. His first major hire? Kiersten Hollars, a Digg PR exec. Hollars is part of Garlinghouse’s old team at Yahoo, and left the company shortly after Garlinghouse did to take over PR and communications at Digg. She joins AOL later this month. “This is more about working with Brad again, and...	November 04, 2009
Ask.com, Microsoft and AOL - Internet Love Triangle?	I remember hearing a few weeks ago that Diller would consider selling Ask.com (IACI) (formally AskJeeves.com). I immediately thought of 2 suitors, Microsoft (MSFT) (Bing) and AOL.com (TWX). Both companies have made deals to increase their reach. Microsoft is making a deal with Yahoo (YHOO) and Aol purchased Bebo. AOL will be out of TWX soon and will need some kind of growth since its ISP business is all but dead....	November 04, 2009
MSN Redux. Significantly Less Blue. But With Added Facebook And Twitter!	More than 1/3 of all Internet users worldwide visit MSN every month. 400 million people. That’s way more than AOL’s 80 million, and not ridiculously out of reach of Yahoo’s nearly 600 million. But still, it’s the most popular Internet portal that no one actually ever goes to. Starting tonight though that’s going to change. Or at least, MSN is changing. We’ll have to wait and see how usage numbers are affected if at all. The most notable change is a new logo ...

Comings & Goings: Will Best Follow Winters?	Tony Best: When J.P. Morgan pushed Bill Winters out the door, a big concern was whether an exodus of his top lieutenants would follow. Winters’s successor, Jes Staley, even hopped a red eye to London before the news was announced to ensure that key employees remained at the bank. Well, at least one seems poised to exit. Tony Best, the global head of J.P. Morgan’s fixed-income sales business and a close lieutenant of Winters, is in discussions with the firm about his future, which cou...	October 30, 2009

One Vision For The New AOL: Redefine Online Content As Print Magazines Fail	There’s lots of speculation on what the soon-to-be independent AOL should do to drive user and revenue growth, and stay relevant in a world dominated by Google, Microsoft and Facebook. New CEO Tim Armstrong says he’s taking some time to take input internally and create a plan. But some sources we’ve been talking to say that there’s a real push to remake AOL into an online media powerhouse - one that will rise just as the print media world is falling apart. There are some...	June 03, 2009
