AOL's Armstrong Optimistic About Future

AOL chairman and CEO Tim Armstrong is “first and foremost concerned with the consumer experience” with AOL, the former Google top executive told reporters Thursday.

“(We have a) globally recognized brand,” he said. “I think we’ll be standing very strongly behind the AOL brand name.”
