AOL: We’re swimming, we think

Time Warner head honcho Richard Parsons says the AOL transition from subscription model to free (read: ad-supported) is going, well, let’s say better than expected. Parsons was asked if the transition was going faster than expected and he replied “I think it is.” We think that’s good. “First of all we’re finally moving in AOL with the tide,” Parsons said in an interview with Reuters. Yes, as opposed to floating belly up toward the beach.
