<title>AOL: Friday, Bloody Friday</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JaneGenova/~3/adTrcsNL9Tc/aol-friday-bloody-friday.html</link>
<description><p>This Fridays the <a href="http://blogs.forbes.com/jeffbercovici/2011/03/08/huffpo-enabled-layoffs-expected-by-friday-at-aol/" target="_self">layoffs </a>will begin at the merged entity AOL-HuffingtonPost.com.&#0160; Yeah, it will Bloody Friday.</p>
<p><a href="http://speechwriting-ghostwriting.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c53ec53ef014e869ae1a3970d-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="MH900434407_edited-1" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00d8341c53ec53ef014e869ae1a3970d" src="http://speechwriting-ghostwriting.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c53ec53ef014e869ae1a3970d-800wi" title="MH900434407_edited-1" /></a>&#0160;</p>
<p>Anyone who follows both sites knows there are many areas of redundancies.&#0160; For example, the department in which I was a contract blogger for 13 weeks - AOL Jobs - looks like a goner.&#0160; Arianna Huffington created not only a niche on her own site dedicated to jobs.&#0160; She also published a book on Third World America.&#0160; That publication focused on the grim employment situation in the U.S. of A.&#0160;</p>
<p>Other areas to likely get hit&#0160;include the news one.&#0160; HuffingtonPost.com was as quick on its feet as Matt Drudge in gaining access to breaking news and posting it pronto.</p>
<p>My heart goes out to all the throw-backs at AOL.&#0160; The demand for digital content providers is exploding so they shouldn&#39;t be out of work for long.&#0160; In addition, they will have a nice war chest from being laid off.</p></description>
