AOL to launch one dozen websites in half a year

One of the top Internet service providers, AOL, has planned to launch 12 new websites over the next six months. The company introduced 30 web sites last year, which focused on various domains, such as lifestyle, sports, music etc., under different brand names like Asylum, Fanhouse, Spinner, and so on. However, nothing has been disclosed about the segments that the new websites would deal in.

AOL expects to reach its target of conceiving and launching new websites within the timeframe set, and the work is already in full swing. The company has already set up several international versions of its popular services across the globe and wants to appeal and address as many consumers as it can. AOL stands fourth behind Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft, in the list of companies that run maximum number of sites. It is one of the largest Internet subscription businesses in the United States, with 10 million domestic subscribers. The company’s CEO Jeffrey Bewkes has also disclosed that there are plans afoot to split the AOL’s internet business from the rest of the company so as to increase the value of parent firm.
