Why I will never use the AOL search engine again

[Theoldmole]

The top result for a search on "New York Mets" is "New York Yankees tickets."

AOL is still around?

I'm surprised by that as well.

Using AOL is like shopping at Gimbels.

I only use AOL on my geocities website.

People still use geocities? , I thought that shut down a few years back?

I think I was going for some sort of sarcastic geek humor there. failed, likely. Yeah, Geocities is gone.

I just went to search.aol.com and searched for it and didn't get anything Yankees related. You talking the 'sponsored results'? Aren't they mined out of the cookies/history of your computer? Maybe this is revealing some hidden love for the Yankees on your part? Is DerekJeter.jpg your desktop image?

The failure is mine . I own it for not picking up on your line.

Yeah, AOL now skews to the 65+ demographic. All unscientific polls that they have at aol.com reflect this.
