@Heenan73 Give me a break. Google wants to give you choice? No more so than Facebook. It is not liker AOL AT ALL. AOL had "keywords" that would lead to AOL articles. Facebook has links that lead you to any site you wantto go...just like Google.
And even if it WAS the walled garden...who cares? If that is what people want, then they will use it.
Only an idiot (are you included?) think that the walled garden approach is why AOL failed. The truth is, if AOL had partnered with cable companies to jump on the broadband bandwagon early on, AOL would still be by far the number one ISP. Broadband and cheap $8 local dial up ISPs were what killed AOL. Nothing else.
