Gone is the blue AOL of old, replaced with goldfish, monsters, butterflies and the partially lower case "Aol" branding we previewed previously. These symbols represent themes on the site; pick one to change the color scheme and background.

At the core of this new independent strategy: content, content, content. Not only is the homepage customizable to the content you want, but a "News Feeds" tab provides an RSS reader one click away from the homepage.

What do you think? Is the new AOL a step in the right direction or the wrong one? And how will AOL perform on its own?
