AOL is a media and technology company operating aol.com, a web portal offering news, entertainment, finance, and lifestyle content alongside email and search services. It provides AOL Mail, a long-standing webmail platform, along with AOL Desktop Gold, a software suite bundling browsing, security, and communication tools for less technical users. The site aggregates syndicated and original journalism covering current events, sports, weather, and celebrity news for a broad general-audience readership.

Owned by Yahoo (both under Apollo Global Management's Yahoo Inc. umbrella), AOL continues to serve a legacy user base while monetizing through advertising and premium subscription tiers.
