AOL's network of localized news web sites, called Patch, had record traffic during Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath says John Brod, President and co-founder of Patch. Also in this interview, he explained how the network will become more interactive as part of a new initiative started with a small number of sites on Long Island, explains Jon Brod, president and co-founder of Patch. We spoke with him earlier this week about the growth of Patch including the expectations for run-rate profitability. Andy Plesser
