TechCrunch editor Michael Arrington took the stage today to interview AOL CEO Tim Armstrong. It was actually at TechCrunch Disrupt New York last year where Armstrong first approached Arrington about buying TechCrunch. We all know how that worked out. Armstrong and Arrington touched on a variety of subjects, including AOL's agressive content strategy. While AOL's content has remained free, Armstrong does seem to think that a paid content model can work. "It's a matter of how you do it...but I'm a long term believer in paid content as a strategy." As he cautions, AOL's news content doesn't have a price right now, and Armstrong didn't reveal any future plans for a paywall but it's certainly interesting to see that he isn't totally against the strategy.
