And, as a holiday and launch promotion, AOL is offering each user 100 free 4 by 6 glossy or matte prints."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/aol_corpo.gif" /> <br /><br />Although I think a lot of AOL's attempts to reposition itself is a great idea, I also think it is too little, too late. This is another "me too" offering as a part of their effort. No word on whether they are doing the printing in house or if they have outsourced it, so the quality of the prints is still an unknown. But since the coupon code "AOLFREEPRINTS" is good until 1/15/2006, this is a pretty low risk opportunity to try it out.

Does this mean they are going to carpet bomb us with even more cds? Maybe they could put them in lavatory stalls next. I just hope I live to see the day that logo disappears from the universe.
