AOL Now Aggregates Email from Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo
In a refreshing show of humility and honesty, AOL has admitted that perhaps visitors to AOL.com do not necessarily have @aol.com at the end of their email addresses.
So, they’ve enabled users to aggregate their email from Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo on the AOL.com homepage.
“With the launch of mail aggregation, AOL will be the first among the big traditional portals to offer a centralized email experience,” commented Bill Wilson, Executive Vice President of Programming, AOL. “We know that consumers today have multiple email accounts on different services to keep tabs on daily, and we want to make it easier for them. This is an important first step in opening up AOL.com and giving users the ability to populate the AOL.com homepage with content and services they use on a daily basis, regardless of where it lives.”
Of course, you can do the same on iGoogle, but the applications were developed by third parties.
