Three Twitter Feeds to Follow

NEW YORK, NY - June 25, 2009 - What follows is a statement from AOL on events that transpired today on the Internet.

"Today was a seminal moment in Internet history. We've never seen anything like it in terms of scope or depth. Historically, celebrity news prompts a worldwide outpouring with several key consumer behaviors – searching, sharing and reacting to the news followed by online tributes has become the modern way to mourn. Princess Diana was the first notable Internet example. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett are the latest.

“At AOL our AIM instant messaging service was undergoing a previously scheduled software update which should normally prove routine. It proved not to be. There was a significant increase in traffic due to today’s news and AIM was down for approximately 40 minutes this afternoon.”

AOL Consumer Advisor, Regina Lewis, is available for comment.

AOL acquired two companies to add to AOL's network of local services -- Patch focuses on community-specific news and information while Going is a local event platform. Noted AOL Chairman and CEO Tim Armstrong, "Local remains one of the most disaggregated experiences on the Web today -- there’s a lot of information out there but simply no way for consumers to find it quickly and easily. It’s a space that’s prime for innovation."
