How many of you use Gmail? Chances are, a lot you do. Some of you probably still use Hotmail (like me) or Yahoo, too. But do you remember AOL? That image of a blue man in mid-run on my screen was torture as a child. Who would continue to use AOL? Well, apparently there are still a lot of folks that continue to use AOL--primarily WV residents.
These users are primarily considered elderly and middle-lower class. In this way, AOL is almost easier for them to use because it means they don't have to replace their computers. However, many companies are willing to buy people new computers to ensure that they can and/or will use their system (Gmail).
In my opinion, this is a little strange to hear. Not only did I think AOL was pretty much extinct, I also thought that more people would be using Yahoo. Check out this article and decide for yourself.
