AOL Realigns as an Overseer of Niche Sites - NYTimes.com

AOL Realigns as an Overseer of Niche Sites - NYTimes.com:

"Point a Web browser to Engadget.com, TheBoot.com, or TMZ.com, and elaborate sites about technology, country music and celebrity gossip will appear on the screen. They could easily be mistaken for stand-alone brands.

But a small link to the owner, in a corner of the screen, shows otherwise. That owner is AOL, the long-suffering unit of Time Warner. And the subtle links are intentional."
