  1. Comment - AOL debuts new desktop software for Windows

    (Dec 11, 2007 - 7:40 PM)

    I believe that AOL was highly succesful in its origins because it gave a portal for computer-not-savvy people access to material that wasn't around before them. The thing is that they are trying to fight the browser fight face to face to seasoned and proven browsers that are far from going away with similar or unneeded features.
    They also lack fresh ideas. If I was them, instead of making copycats of firefox in their browser and yahoo on their portal, I would be making heavy investments in their fellow-time-warner content providers to begin distribution of publicity-backed content. Hey, they have CNN, DC Comics and Sports Illustrated on their side. They've had them all along.

    I mean for christ sakes, they're an Internet Technology provider! And they an't even make a simple Ajax and Flash feature-and-interactivity-packed software that access for content of complanies that they already have on their side!!!

    Well, that's only in my humble opinion.
