AOL Slashes Staff at AIM Unit; Wider Cuts Expected →

The AOL Instant Messenger group took the deepest cut so far. A former AOL employee said the group was "eviscerated and now only consists of support staff."

This is not entirely unexpected due to competition from Skype, Facebook chat, Google chat; I could go on. Kinda sad considering that the first thing I did with my first (solely operated) computer was create an AIM screenname that I used all the way through college. That's been completely replaced with Skype for me.

I'm just an ordinary thirty-something who's had some extraordinary opportunities. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University, work for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, code websites and applications, take the occasional photograph, and keep a constant eye on current events, politics, and technology. This blog is the best of what catches that eye.
