AOL to enter free email space |
AOL is planning on facing off against other free email services: Gmail (Google), Yahoo Mail and Hotmail (Microsoft).
Right now, the beta service is available to AOL subscribers only, but it will eventually be offered for free to the public, the company said on Wednesday. The service, dubbed “AOL Mail on the Web,” is expected to officially debut early next year for members, and later in the year for the public.
I don’t have an AOL account at the moment, but I am curious what they are doing with this. Any makeyougohmm readers with AOL checked this out yet? Comments? Trackbacks?
Did this post make you go hmm?

What’s the point? It’s only avalible to AOL members? Don’t they already have an AOL email account? Why give them another AOL email account? Who cares.

i think this would be added service to email and internet users because the services of yahoo, gmail, rediffmail, and even hotmail would improve with the fierce competition in the free email market.
i see nothing wrong if they want feedback from existing subscribers- eventually everybosy can sign up!!
