I work for IBM, from my perspective it looks like AOL works at LIGHTSPEED! We can't keep up with those new Internet companies ;)

Yeah, if I have learned anything from watching various startups and the like is that bureaucracy kills you, better to give a small team of developers with concise goals some money and have someone keep them on track. If they need more people then let them explain why, and how they are going to use them.
