Lots of old friends were there. Even true Internet pioneers who have helped create the open web.
The mainstream AOL cronies were all there - as well as bodies dating back to Prodigy, Compuserve and Quantum Link.
The party was the celebrate the 25 year anniversary of teh founding of AOL.

For about four years I went around pitching folks on a new kind of tool - which I called a “Persona Editor“. As I was leaving Silly Valley I went to Google and disclosed - publicly - what the design was.
However that video did not make it into the Google memory banks and was not considered a Google Tech talk until recently. The challenge we have with a tool like this is that we need a critical mass of ALL services, tools and web sites to have two-way APIs for it to work. So it’ll be a while before this tool’s time has arrived.
So that’s why I just gave away the ideas……….
So for your viewing pleasure:
