"My advice, be healthy, reach your own goals and don`t be afraid to impersonate a SNL star... " - AOL 7/96
- Teri HatcherHeck, Google Talk doesn`t even feature a box to let you search for things, as rival products from AOL, MSN and Yahoo do.
- Danny SullivanWell I`m a longtime AOL subscriber and I love the whole thing. I`m an email junkie and I love the internet, though 7th Heaven doesn`t give me much free time to surf these days.
- Stephen CollinsIt won`t reduce spam directly. AOL is already good at managing spam issues, and Yahoo is getting better. It may make it easier to filter mail, and may provide more resources for spam prevention, but it could also mean that people lose emails, and so change provider.
- Richard Coxconsumers directly with the value that matters most to them within our new AOL.com portal experience.
- Kevin ConroyI noticed AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) had a robust script library,
- Kevin FoxAOL owes its strong position in the mobile domain to its ability to provide seamless access to AIM buddy lists on handsets through an elegantly designed service and its strong relationships with mobile carriers. Its challenge is to demonstrate that it can use AIM as the foundation to engage users with a broader base of services, much as it is seeking to do on the desktop by opening access to its portal and e-mail services and linking these with AIM.
- Mark DonovanAlthough these are early days in mobile media, the aggressive efforts in mobile by Yahoo and AOL are paying off. But it is a close race, and as traditional media brands put more muscle into their mobile businesses, we expect that the market will shift.
- Mark DonovanWe`re excited to work with Chevrolet to align with their music strategy and as part of our commitment to bring popular programs like AOL Music Sessions to millions of fans each week.
- Mike KellyWhen an AOL client connects, the AOL server sends back more information than they expect, ... The buffer that they reserved was 256 bytes. For that buffer, what AOL sends is 256 bytes and then 24 bytes extra ... to overflow it.
- Robert Graham(Hackers) could interpose themselves between the AOL server and the client and then change the AOL overflow to their own overflow that then breaks into the system,
- Robert GrahamWe logged into an AOL server using an AOL Messenger and did a capture of the traffic between a server and a client. During the log-in process I found what indeed was a buffer overflow exploit,
- Robert GrahamThe most impressive part for me was that during a seasonally slow period, AOL added 3/4 of a million subscribers, ... That`s a remarkably strong number.
- Jonathan CohenIt is in the interests of Yahoo and AOL that their users receive and read the premium spam, as this justifies their charge to the spammers. It would be more interesting if users could set their own fee for receiving unsolicited mail'¦ users could set their own white lists and then nominate a fee per e-mail from people not on the list. The senders would then have the option of sending to people who set a fee.
- James TurnerI think it took us nine years to get one million subscribers to AOL, and then in the next nine years we went from one million to 35 million.
- Andreas SchaeferI continue to have a special pride and passion for AOL, and I strongly believe that AOL - once the leading Internet company in the world - can return to its past greatness.
- Andreas SchaeferBecause I do think - not just in building AOL - but just the world in which we live is a very confusing, rapidly changing world where technology has accelerated.
- Andreas SchaeferI think the support of the other team at AOL and everybody`s really shared passion and belief about this and - saying that some day everybody was going to be on line.
- Andreas SchaeferDoing this AOL deal is on the way, but not enough, to enhancing shareholder value at Time Warner, ... It proves my point that there is a great deal of unrealized value here. The best investment the company can make is in their own stock at this time.
- Andy CrawfordAOL will feel pressure to implement whatever standard the IETF develops, ... there`s so much more potential for instant messaging in the wireless world that AOL`s installed base doesn`t matter that much.
- Arthur William Edgar O'ShaughnessyThe IMPP work was already very important. The recent AOL action might reinforce public perception that a standard is needed, but I think the public already realized this.
- Arthur William Edgar O'ShaughnessyOur guess is, it means the board of Time Warner has decided definitively to sell a piece of AOL, and that has upset Steve Case,
