Couldn’t AOL steal Twitter’s lunch if it wanted to?

soupsoup:

Maybe I am overestimating the number of people who use AOL Instant Messenger but I feel like it has been underutilized as a device to do more than just send instant messages.

I’ve likely used it more than any other application since 1997.

It seems like a no brainer for it to be a hybrid instant messenger / microblogging app, not unlike tweetdeck.

I wonder why they haven’t done this already.

They’re doing this now.
