AOL Launched in India
Published by Sunny on April 27th, 2007 in Internet, News - ViewsHere’s America Online trying to make a come back for ya - a classic Web2.0 website and an equally good webmail for the Indian mass.
AOL have finally launched their webservices in India. The website, AOL.in is a traditional Web2.0 site which caught my fancy right away. Any regular web user would notice that it resembles the Yahoo! home page to a great extent!
The webmail was another attractive feature that I liked. The interface is Ajax based and is very responsive. AOL combines both the features of Yahoo! Mail with that of Gmail. It features folders and also has a vacation responder. The only disadvantage may be that you cannot remove their webmark which is added on all outgoing mails. (This can however, be bypassed by a certain trick which requires you to use Gmail)
So go ahead, and get yourself an ID at AOL.in.
PS, for my regular readers- an apology… offline work kept me from updating TB. I’ll try not to repeat that again though!

I don’t like the name of AOL!! and also I am satisfied with my yahoo mail..and changing your email id is Hard Work.
Nevertheless,I would surely register on this 1.

( Finally you decide to show up here ? :-w )
Oh well..
Nice and short @aol.in email ( Nice.. I actually got me@aol.in while gmail doesn’t allow me to do that )
I like the AJAX interface, but won’t really use it coz of Gmail :p
Nice initiative though…
P.S: They’re so stupid. I actually went ahead and registered contactus@aol.in as an email. LOL
