Steve Gillmor's Best and Worst

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Steve Gillmor's Best and Worst of Messaging & Collaboration in '03 includes a shot at AOL re: lack of interoperability in "public" instant messaging networks:

"Lack of IM interoperability -- AOL and Time Warner get an Oscar for agreeing to stay out of IM video in return for keeping their buddy lists locked up. Post-bubble, Time Warner drops the AOL name, gets $780 million from Microsoft, can do video-conferencing anyway, and still no interoperability. And the winner is: not us."
