The most interesting part of AOL's positioning is their UnCut Video section, "Videos uploaded by YOU." Nice caps lock there. As if amateur videos are a transgressive idea. Or: As if the AOL audience is still so non-savvy (un-savvy? Sans savvy?) that they need the categories broken out. Or maybe AOL is taking a professional video first approach, like MySpace with MySpaceTV. Dunno. AOL still feels like that place I dialed up in '95 to chat about Nirvana. You can't go home again.
