Speculation and quite cheeky to hear it here, but is AOL coming out with a MySpace competitor? I'd defer this to rumors and possible fabrications, but when Business 2.0 and Fortune are covering it, I gotta wonder.
AOL of course was one of the original pioneers of the social networking space, with the original American Online service, and revolutionized messaging with AIM. Since then MSN has come on the scene, as well as Yahoo! Messenger, and a host of other alternatives. Of course for MSN and Yahoo!, social networking isn't so much the focus as are content and search.
It could be time, though, for AOL to take another run at center stage!
