You've Got New AOL Corporate Headquarters!


AOL, the user-friendly portal popular with baby boomers and their parents, officially opened its new corporate headquarters in New York City today.

Three hundred employees from AOL's Corporate and Programming branch, formerly based in Virginia, are moving today into the 105-year-old, Daniel Burnham-designed building at 770 Broadway, which once housed the Wanamaker Department Store. Mr. Burnham also designed the Flatiron Building.

Ultimately, the building will house AOL's new advertising wing called Platform-A, created last year as part of an effort to move the company from an access-based business to an advertising-based one.

Not every AOL employee will have to pack his bags and move to the Big Apple. The corporation will continue to have offices in Dulles, Va., Mountain View, Calif., Bangalore, India, London and elsewhere.

Aol maybe moving to NY but they have outsourced every contact to the point on not being able to reach anyone in the USA! Kind of Ironic for a company called AMERICA ONLINE! There is No Phone number or even an Email to contact anyone in the UNITED STATES! I've cancelled my service with them after 12 years because customer service has gone to the phillipines & so has all the service! I Am Now Current, but soon to canceled AOL customer.

And your most important task is to annoy your customers??
Is there anymore you can do to keep me from reading my mail? It's in a one inch space. And that's AFTER I delete your agrivating search grabber, interrupting every time I log on? I refuse to search with aol until it's removed and as for the mail, I am going to look for another way unless you stop squeezing me out like I am the least important part of your income.
What results are you anticipating when you make annoyance your chief objective?
