Other ‘portals’ have already done just about everything displayed in this screenshot. iGoogle and MyYahoo allow users to add widgets that effectively “open” their platforms by creating cross-network access. The difference here is that Google is already established with the targeted demo. and Yahoo (imho) has higher quality content.

AOL should stick to their strong areas; AIM, Platform A and old folks who like the sound of dial-up.

October portal launch along with more layoff’s in that month. This design is old as well. This was the design (not exactly this design but the same idea, just a different look, I even started to code it up!) prior do the Ron and Randy regime. They nixed it and called everyone nuts for even thinking of it then, Ron said the infamous “Make it like yahoo” quote and then ran around saying “portals have been figured out, we’re not copying, we’re improving on an existing model”. Hope he’s been relegated…

Nothing AOL can do is going to save it. The only thing that they have that even stands out is AIM. I think its cool that they are making these changes, but it feels a little too late.

Now I would have one reason to go to AOL.com. It might be a little too late, but it’s good to see them trying to catch up.

More like AOL “Drops it Skirt” than “Pulls the Trigger”. Just another desperate attempt to do anything to appear still in the game. like when they bought BeBo for 850 mill as there market value plummets. AOL should be Fined for all the waste they produced from spamming cd sign up disks in fancy packages around the world. Imagine the mountain of WASTE they produced. You are what you push and What goes around comes around.

I gotta say, my initial response to the new portal wasn’t one of complete revulsion.
Way to go AOL
The MyYahoos/MyAOLs and iGoogles are just too much for most people to set-up, and once you’ve got’em working they’re FUGLY as hell.

This still Promos AOL content, but lets you tweak your Channels Bar, and check multiple E-mail Service Providers. It’s actually been done for a long time by Portals that didn’t have as much native content, but this is a first for the big Portals.

Not bad for a company fighting for relevance in the face of growing managerial indifference.

Y’know perhaps you’re not so bad after all AOL. Not so bad, but still not so good

This means they don’t have more relevant stuff to offer on their homepage and giving their competitors a space on their front page.
