AOL
Eh its been awhile since I've had an AOL post, but I really liked this article bc it hits on something big that I think AOL has been lacking for a long time...innovation. Whats the last innovative thing we've released? IM waaaaay back in the day? (hmm, ok, i definitely wrote that before actually finishing the article....) We just seem to copy existing products, except we don't improve upon them...
AOL's innovation problem
The good news for AOL, which, like CNNMoney.com, is owned by Time Warner (Research), is that AIM Pages is easier to use and a bit more thoughtfully designed than MySpace.com, the leading social-networking site. And AIM Phoneline has some big advantages over Skype, the world's biggest peer-to-peer Internet telephony service.
The bad news for AOL: MySpace and Skype already exist.
