AOL making a play with Bebo?
AOL just paid $850 million for bebo.com, who cares right? Well it just caught my eye that AOL made this play when all you seem to hear about these days is Yahoo and Microsoft or what Facebook and MySpace has done recently… AOL silently has one of the largest shares of instant messenger users on the internet with it’s AOL messaging platform and (I didn’t know this until just now) ICQ. Facebook and MySpace blow bebo.com out of the arena with their sheer number of visitors (though Bebo had 22.4 million unique visitors worldwide in January), but if you break down the numbers people spend more time on bebo.com than it’s competitors.What’s my point, not much really, other than with all these stories of Yahoo, Google, Facebook and MySpace all the time, just don’t forget AOL. The last time I heard from them they were killing the Netscape project, which seemed like a good business move but still sad at the same time. Sounds like they are making pretty strong moves to me these days.
