AOL: No Plans to Buy an Algorithmic Search Company
From the article:
+ “We’re putting significant resources in laying our great content into search,” said [Gerry| Campbell, [vice president and general manager of AOL's search and navigation]. “Search is just one piece of a multifaceted value project. We’re different [in search] because of the amount of premium content and relationships that we can work with.”
+ “AOL’s Campbell said the company has no plans to buy an algorithmic search company because there is no ‘leakage’ problem whatsoever.”
+ “‘The truth is that AOL search gets three times more searches than the next search engine [within AOL],’ Campbell said. Offering Google’s search listings is an adjunct to the personalization and content AOL can provide to its members, Campbell suggested.”
