Mini-AOL

Toro Hours after Mini-Microsoft called it quits on trashing the management in Redmond, AOL's recently-acquired Jason Calacanis began trashing his company. 

"Our search is bad.  Very, very bad," he blogged at Calacanis.com

Despite Google's providing "the best in the business" results, Calacanis says AOL's design is the problem.  The founder of Weblogs Inc. says AOL employees tell him they use Google for search because the results layout is cleaner.  "We have to clean up our act and start loving our users more than Google," he blogged.  "I'm gonna keep fighting ... (at least until I'm CEO and I can just mandate it :-)."

Disclaimer:  I own shares of Time Warner, which Henry Blodget calls "a sack of rocks."

Dunno if you've seen this one from Hugh MacLeod, but Jason's comment reminded me of it.
