So, we’re sure you’re all aware that iPhone mania is in full swing this week. But did you realize that AOL is involved? The company has released three new iPhone OS applications that all you original iPhone holders and you lucky new 3G owners are sure to love: AIM (you’ve heard about AIM haven’t you? It’s only the leading instant messaging service); AOL Radio (the most popular online radio service and recipient of an Apple Design Award); and Truveo (the leading online video search engine). All are free, and available at the iPhone App store. AOL has also released a beta version of AIM Blast, which allows you to have a group conversation or to send an IM to multiple people without having to set up a bot or a chat room. Go check it out.
AOL has always been an Internet innovator, starting with its humble origins as a revolutionary networking service called Quantum Computer Services. With headquarters in New York, it has now become a leading global advertising-supported web company, with an average of 110 million domestic visitors monthly to its network of web properties.
We’re delighted to welcome AOL as a Twiistup4 sponsor. Please come see them by the pool, or stop by their developer network website to learn how AOL can enhance your web services offerings and help you make money. But hurry — if you stop by the booth and ask about their social networking apps, you just might score one of their limited-quantity AOL Developer “social” t-shirts. You’re sure to be the belle of the ball if you do.
