AOL Closing Down Some Blogs, Services

aol_logo_v3.gif AOL executive vice president Kevin Conroy issued a memo last week, stating that the company would be shedding a number of business units, including Bluestring, Xdrive, AOL Pictures, and MyMobile. PC Magazine reports.

"More pertinent to our own sphere are the number of blogs under the AOL umbrella that the company is looking to drop, including two long-time favorites, The Unofficial Apple Weblog and DownloadSquad.

Currently speculation in the blogosphere has AOL slimming itself down in an attempt to sell to someone like Microsoft."
