AOL Time Warner is considering dropping the "AOL" moniker from its corporate name, the company confirmed Monday.
Members of AOL Time Warner's board of directors may consider the issue when they meet in September. Should the name change go through, AOL Time Warner would revert back to Time Warner.
"Since the merger in early 2001, the three letters AOL have ceased to stand for the Internet and the promise it entails and instead have become the shorthand for the world's largest media company," Miller wrote. "As AOL Time Warner became known as, for all intents and purposes, 'AOL,' any controversy or criticism involving the corporate entity has actually hit our consumer brand."

In other words, nobody likes the taint of AOL on their name.

Hanging onto an old tool only weighs you down and anchors you to extinction... Why not dump the whole title, and birth smething as new as the new millenium...
