AOL Asserts Its Innovation Street Cred - Al Gore Better Watch Out
So everyone knows that Al Gore invented the Internet, right? Well, if you didn’t know that, now you know.
But not to be outdone, AOL wants you to know they’re the trailblazing pioneers in another technology movement. With their recent acquisition of Bebo, a social networking site, AOL is stepping into the latest web2.0, paradigm shifting, synergistic space. But don’t think they are new to the space. AOL chief Randy Falco states, “Social networking was really invented here at AOL. We let it get away from us.” So now you know who to thank for the countless hours you’ve spent on Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace or Friendster (for those who remember this has been).
It just got away from them. I like that. Thanks for social networking AOL. We owe you.
