Of Trailing Edge Ideas
By kenjenny@sbcglobal.net, Friday, February 23, 2007.I ran across this tag line at the bottom of a friend's AOL e-mail message today: AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com. Talk about behind the times - trailing-edge thinking at its best. This idea arrives some 10 years after Hotmail announced its offer to consumers for free email services and was then purchased for gazillions by Microsoft. Remember trying to forward your e-mail from AOL after you discontinued the service? No way, consumer. That was a brilliant strategy as well. Oh well. What's AOL worth in today's market? A whole lot less than a gazillion.
