Yes, it’s exactly what Google does. Google buys third-party programs and/or companies for just about all of their products, and they’ve added nothing to the market that wasn’t “already out there”. Is your point that Google is the true culprit behind such lack of innovation, not AOL, or that Google is simply guilty of that, too?

As for My AOL, I got a message from the site that said, “Sorry. The first time could not be finished. Please try again later.”

Our “first time?” They couldn’t “finish”? Oh My God.

Techcrunch mit Lob für uns
Über diesen Beitrag habe ich mich gefreut und über die meisten der zahlreichen Kommentare auch. Gerade, weil Techcrunch oftmals nicht gerade mit Kritik gespart hat. Es ist gut zu sehen, dass wir starke Produkte am Start, …

Isn’t this exactly what Google does!!!

They did a good Search product (not a new idea) and since then have just bought other companies and taken their ideas. I also don’t know what new stuff Google have added to the market that wasn’t already out there.

I like bookmarks too. Although I have to cleanup some of the junk that comes pre-loaded.

AOL now needs a bookmarking API to be able to integrate itself with likes of Diigo toolbar and others.

AOL is alive and kicking!

That was really a cool one.lolz

The company is going to vanish. My nephew who was born 7 months back might learn in his school about it in his History book

This morning AOL is launched a suite of personalized products into beta: myPage (personalized home page), Mgnet (image-driven content discovery and recommendation engine) and Favorites (feed reader and bookmarking). All three services can be accessed v…

Frank Gruber came by my office and gave me and Scoble a personal demo a few weeks ago. Check it out here:

we are technologist not wall street barons, let’s reward technical innovation and ideas and not the ticker symbol it stems from… for example engadget and tmz are great blogs, they don’t necessary suck, just because of who fits their bill.

The fact that people hate on a product so quick show that they know nuthing about the release process and time to market and value of getting users attention in order to build off traffic and update the product. Look at the damn iphone, it doesnt even have MMS messaging!!! But you think they wont have it? of course they will, its a great attempt and platform to build off of, which will get better.

My Yahoo is horribly designed and so is Netvibes. The “Me too” aspect of My AOL is of course just getting the feet wet which is definatly ok for starts. The fact that they released a more innovative approach with magnet and the ability to add “canned” tab’s shows that their first release already out performed most of whats out there in the market today.

The small team that built this product has made a huge impact on the net and pushed it forward in a small step with these products. Yahoo’s entire focus has a 5 year head start on the web. AOL has just shifted the entire business model to the web and already released a product better than My Yahoo, by starting at the “bar” which is the basics that yahoo has, and google and then INNOVATING on it.

Now , tell me where they are so horrible or went wrong?

get a clue

The concept of having people filter news of interest by visual association is, i think, a wonderful idea. Since AOL tends to attract a more main stream audience, maybe this new site will promote literacy among many who dont like to read…

If you actually try something and you have something to say, by all means contribute something of substance. Hollow criticism is like prejudice: based on ignorance, contributing nothing, and serving only to bring the level of conversation down.

Mike you should add all AOL products to your deadpool. AOL - you rather spend the money feeding some poor folks than wasting on this, atleast you’ll get a better response or create a new product or improve one..just don’t COPY.
