AOL Video - It Sucks

I read an article about being able to see full length videos of sitcoms and other shows at the new AOL video site so headed over to check it out. Sure enough they had several different videos from such places as The History Channel, TBS, and MTV.

I clicked on an episode of Modern Marvels and was presented with a popup screen that said that I needed a plugin for their videos to work with my Firefox browser. No problem I thought as I clicked on the link to install the plugin.

If only it were that simple…

No matter what I did I could not get to the page for the plugin that they said I need to view their video.

Bottom line - I left their site after 10 frustrating minutes of trying to get to the site to install the plugin in need to view their video.

Nice work AOL! Glad you didn’t steer from your usually way of making things 10 times more difficult then they need to be!
