Why would AOL members need Google if they already have access to it by typing in Google.com? It's already a free service. Why would AOL members need what is already a free service?

I noticed the Dilbert cartoons on the main page last week, but didn't reach that conclusion. What'd I miss? Google is software that powers many search engines, including its own. I guess it will tailor its software to AOL's (ha!®) needs, with appropriate advertising, etc.

Wordwind Carpal Tunnel Registered: 09/30/01 Posts: 6296 Loc: Piedmont Region of Virginia, U...	Well, I thought I read that google was looking for suggestions for a new name in the cartoons--some dialogue there last week. I didn't realize it was a joke--I thought it was in earnest, but then didn't see any more mention of it. I am very, very gullible. It's good to know that google isn't changing its name because I love using it as a verb. Thanks for the input, WW

It's already a free service. Why would AOL members need what is already a free service? Because AOL is a crutch for the internet. It provides colorful, large print buttons for people who don't know how to type "google.com" into a browser. [/snide comment]
