AOL aims to give consumers "personal experience"

AOL chairman and CEO Randy Falco has stated that once they have completed the integration of social network website Bebo, AOL and other products will provide an "unmatched offering for consumers".
The broadband giants are now focusing on their advertising, publishing and people networks, and are currently in the process of integrating their tools such as AIM messaging, ICQ, chat and mail applications into recent acquisition Bebo.
In addition to this, AOL plans to introduce content control onto the social networking site, both as a security measure for users but also to aid and reassure advertisers of the quality of the pages it promotes its products on.

AOL releases new IM service for deaf people

Broadband provider AOL has announced a new instant messaging (IM) service for the deaf and hard of hearing is being tested in America.
The service will work in real time, with each message being made visible as it is typed, rather than waiting for each user to press send, meaning those hard of hearing are able to respond in a manner more akin to a voice conversation.
"This is a big win for AOL and the deaf community since the use of real-time text is receiving increased attention as a necessary equivalent to voice communication for consumers with disabilities," commented Tom Wlodkowski, AOL's director of accessibility.
