Barry Diller shows interest in AOL
Recent headlines collide… as IAC/Interactive Corp’s Barry Diller, soon to be fresh with cash, shows interest in AOL. Sounds like a good idea. Obviously, Barry is committed to the online side. Hasn’t enough time passed at TWC to justify a sale? (if not, then get it right already) AOL used to be a leader in the online space, Barry’s IAC has the perspective to revive AOL as an online leader.

Mr. Diller: We’ve talked over the years about our interest in AOL and never been able to get Time Warner to engage with us. I’ve always said AOL is great opportunity for somebody. When and if Warner doesn’t want it, I’ll certainly be at the door.
