Quote to Note: AOL Top Dog on Flat Revenues
February 26, 2012
This may be online. You can try to access the story “Arianna’s Work Husband” at www.nytimes.com. In this write up from the Times’s magazine for February 26, 2012, ran a story which was “condensed and edited,” the top AOLer, Tim Armstrong allegedly said about AOL’s financial performance:
So flat is up for us.
I find this quote clever (see my essay explaining exogenous complexity and clever output on February 24, 2012). I also find it fascinating because it echoes the belief that the world is flat from the semi-clueless ancient world and the New York Times’s columnist, Thomas L. Friedman.
The only issue for me is that revenues are supposed to go up. Maybe the stakeholders of AOL have a different viewpoint?
