AOL to Replace AIM with Triton

An anonymous reader writes "BetaNews is reporting that AOL has begun beta testing a replacement for its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) software. Triton has an entirely new user interface that adds highly anticipated features including tabbed messaging and logging. The client will also be open to third party plug-ins." From the article: "It is no coincidence that AOL is fielding so many betas concurrently. AOL Browser, an Internet Explorer based Web browser; AOL Media Player, a standalone audio and video player; AOL search technologies and AOL's synchronization utilities are all part of what was once a unified communications client called Fanfare."

Successful Business Plan?

I think now I'll write a P2P application that runs on top of Triton called Tritonster. When AOL inevitably sues me for trademark infringement I'll claim that my daughter's nickname has been Tritonee for some time.

Sounds like a winning business plan to me!

Forget features, I want them to keep giving me CDs

With the advances in CD/DVD burning and buffer underrun protection, I've not made any coasters in a really long time.

It's like c'mon, what else can I put my cup/glass on? I don't even get the Bell sympatico CDs anymore either.

Cheap bastards. Don't they know their CDs are actually worth something to me?

awesome!
