If you visit AOL's TotalTalk site, you are told that AOL has decided to discontinue thier service as of November 30, 2006. But their other pages like sign-up page seem to be working normally. Since I have not heard of this news item previously, I can only surmise that their page has been hijacked.
PS: I omitted to mention the source because I couldn't locate it at that time and I was in a hurry to post it and improve my Smith rating. :-) Any way, I saw it in Alec's list of digged links, but he didn't comment on it.

It's not getting discontinued, per se - just being replaced with a better product.
Don't send people into some big tizzy that AOL's getting rid of stuff, implying that it was poorly received. Get your info right first.
Posted by: Alex at August 31, 2006 11:15 AMI am not making any one tizzy. I think I am making it clear that the page has been hacked.
But now it looks like they are discontinued in one fashion or another. If they are indeed replacing it with a better product, don't you think they will say that and redirect their customer to the new product?
