AOL Personal Portals, Weblogs

July 17, 2003

Jonathan Miller (of AOL) is on stage at Stanford's AlwaysOn conference for the first time publicly showing AOL 9.0's roll-your-own personal portal for consumers. ISPs must respond in kind. The days of portals just for businesses have ended. As well as AOL Journals, a blogging service. AOL will introduce publish-and-subscribe calendars later this year, Miller says.

Bob Frankston asks what business AOL is in, and whether that's akin to the old monopolistic phone company. With no mention this morning of Internet standards in the areas of presence, video or calendaring, I'm guessing Frankston's mention of the old Ma Bell makes sense. Fortunately, the Internet can route around non-standard presence, video and calendaring. [Scott Mace's Radio Weblog]

These comments by Scott Mace from the Always On conference mean I can finally show some of the work we did for AOL over two years ago. It seems they're doing a lot of what we told them to do. I just love the idea of 30M end-users creating their own 'personal portals'. This is great news!

I just LOVE the idea of AOL offering personal portals! [Marc's Voice]
