French artist Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot traveled extensively in Italy during his life, including a one-month stay in the small town of Volterra. Painted as a memory of the Italian countryside he visited, this work of art shows a lone hunter riding towards a wooded hilltop. Prominently placed in the foreground is the trunk of a tree, sawn off at the bottom and splintered at the top. The light of late afternoon warms the scene, casting long shadows across the path.
Imagine you are sitting on one of the boulders along the road. Describe the feel of the sun and the smells around you.

AOL Continues To Splinter Content Into Anti-Portals

TechCrunch.comSunday, January 11, 2009; 10:28 PM
Bill Wilson's star continues to rise at AOL even as other groups continue to shed products and execs. He moves from EVP Programming to President of the newly formed MediaGlow, which controls all of AOL's content sites.
AOL?s programming sites (Money & Finance, News, Sports, Health, Food, Music, Games, and Moviefone, among others) have been on a tear for the last year and a half and now attract 70 million monthly visitors, says AOL. Page views have grown 40% year over year.
The NYTimes reports that the group controls 75 sites and will add 30 more this year. Many of these sites, as we've previously reported, have little or no AOL branding at all.
