So we’re starting to do some more work for AOL - this timre utilizing their new AIM APIs.

We’re gonna bake it into PeopleAggregator and come up with some coolio Whimsicals (as they call Widgets.)  So I’ve been diving deep into these APIs.  Here’s some demos of WIM.

MY gutt told me one thing immediately:

- now that Yahoo has BB Auth, AOL needs to have AIM Auth

- just like Yahoo will enable us to enable our end-users to use their Yahoo ID as a log-in

- I think AOL should enable end-users to use their AIM screenname - for the same thing

- we’ll support both in our Identity Hub strategy

It’s Ted Leonsis’ ‘Magic Carpet’ finally come to life.

Lots of folks are focused on this stuff - and this is a great opportunity for AOL to join the party!

So shoutout to Stephen Benedict:

YOU DUDE - lets get AIM Auth happening!
