			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/9861/bebologokz3.gif" alt="Bebo Logo AOL" title="AOL completes acquisition of Bebo" />AOL announced yesterday, that it has completed its acquisition of Bebo, a global social media network that will form the centerpiece of AOL’s newly created People Networks business unit. Bebo’s CEO Joanna Shields will serve as Executive Vice President of AOL and President of People Networks, which combines Bebo, AIM, ICQ and AOL’s other community platforms and reaches about 80 million users worldwide.* Shields will report to AOL President and COO Ron Grant.</p>
<p>“With the addition of Bebo and the creation of People Networks, AOL is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the exploding social media space by delivering a more personal experience for consumers and a better way for advertisers to engage them,” said Randy Falco, Chairman and CEO of AOL. “AOL is now fully focused on growing our business in three key areas - our advertising network, publishing and people networks - by delivering relevant content and advertising across the Web, and we’re making great progress in each area.”</p>
<p>In March, AOL’s publishing network hit an all-time high in both unique visitors and page views, the sixth consecutive month of growth, according to comScore Media Metrix, which also ranked AOL’s Platform-A the leading online display advertising network, with a reach of 91% of the domestic online audience.</p>
<p>One of the first initiatives for People Networks will be to integrate AOL’s other community applications and tools, including IM, chat and mail functionality into Bebo. It will also let users merge AIM and Bebo profiles so they can use common screen names without re-registering. AIM is the leading instant messaging network in the U.S., with more than 30 million users. ICQ has 28 million active users worldwide.</p>
<p>In addition, People Networks will integrate other recent AOL acquisitions, including widget technology company Goowy Media and social search question and answer service Yedda. Integration plans also include the cross-distribution of AOL and Bebo content and applications to expand the scale of the combined networks. For example, AOL will promote Bebo’s successful original programming � including the award-winning ‘KateModern’, ‘Sofia’s Diary’ and ‘The Gap Year’ - across several AOL channels. Also, Bebo is integrating AOL music and entertainment content.</p>
<p>“This combination is about more than just putting products together, it’s about bringing together the extraordinary management teams from both Bebo and AOL,” said Shields. “When you combine Bebo, AIM and ICQ, and AOL’s other community products, we not only have an unmatched offering for consumers, we have the best leaders in the business to drive our success going forward.”</p>
<p>To enhance AOL’s ability to monetize Bebo and its other social networks, the company recently announced plans to introduce a ‘content screening’ tool. Based on the same technology AOL uses with its award-winning parental controls, this tool will help advertisers overcome concerns about advertising on social networking sites with user-generated content by awarding these pages a quality score and placing ads only on pages that surpass a quality threshold. AOL plans to launch its content screening tool in the third quarter.</p>
<p>Founded in 2005, Bebo quickly became one of the leading social networks in the UK. It is ranked No. 1 in Ireland and New Zealand, and No. 3 in the U.S. in terms of engagement. Bebo’s worldwide users spend an average of 30 minutes a day on the site. Bebo has approximately 100 employees operating in offices in the UK, San Francisco and Austin, TX. It will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/09/threes-company-google-to-launch-friend-connect-on-monday/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/09/threes-company-google-to-launch-friend-connect-on-monday/');">TechCrunch</a> has an interesting post that Google is going to launch a product called &#8220;Friend Connect&#8221; on Monday. MySpace launched <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/08/myspace-embraces-data-portability-partners-with-yahoo-ebay-and-twitter/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/08/myspace-embraces-data-portability-partners-with-yahoo-ebay-and-twitter/');">Data Availability</a> on Thursday, and yesterday <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/09/facebook-responds-to-myspace-with-facebook-connect/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/09/facebook-responds-to-myspace-with-facebook-connect/');">Facebook Connect</a>.</p>
<p>Why this flurry of activity in opening up APIs for 3rd party apps? All these initiatives will allow securely sending personal profile data, including friend lists, presence/status information, etc., to third party applications. The primary benefit of these services is to allow users to maintain a single friends list and to coordinate social activities across different sites that perform different services.</p>
<p>&#8220;The reason these companies are are rushing to get products out the door is because whoever is a player in this space is likely to control user data over the long run. If users don’t have to put profile and friend information into multiple sites, they will gravitate towards one site that they identify with, and then allow other sites to access that data. The desire to own user identities over the long run is also causing the big Internet companies, in my opinion, to rush to become OpenID issuers (but not relying parties).&#8221;</p>
<p>While the motivations are good (I don&#8217;t need to sign up everytime I visit a new website), there are bound to be privacy issues. Wait for one 3rd party to mess it up, willingly or unwillingly.</p>
<p>And the biggest gain for Google? They would now be able to target ads on individual profile level. Is that good? I am not too sure how much info I&#8217;d like to share with anyone, be it Google, Facebook, Myspace, Yahoo, Twitter&#8230;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s wait and see.</p>

AIM Call Out is a pay-as-you-go outbound voice calling service built right into AIM.&#8221; He continued, &#8220;Jajah, AOL Open Voice, Ribbit and scores of others are taking a platform approach to VoIP, hoping that adding voice to applications will drive up minute volume and turn them into a viable business.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="MainStory"></span><span class="MainStory"><a href="https://bng.remote.aol.com/news/-aol-launches-open-voice-apis-/2008/04/29/,DanaInfo=.anfyvDysjvn3Ko10+3414059.htm" target="bnnpoup" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/https://bng.remote.aol.com/news/-aol-launches-open-voice-apis-/2008/04/29/,DanaInfo=.anfyvDysjvn3Ko10+3414059.htm');"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">TMCnet.com</span></a> reports, &#8220;Many users are loathe to run multiple IM clients, so many switched from AIM to Skype because they could get IM, plus voice &amp; video &#8212; all in a single client. Why bog down system resources with multiple IM clients? I will say AOL has done a good job of beefing up the feature-set of AIM, but one has to wonder if Skype&#8217;s momentum is unstoppable.&#8221; The piece continues, &#8220;In any event, Steve Murphy, Senior Vice President, AOL said, &#8216;By opening up our voice communications gateway to developers we&#8217;re furthering the mission of AIM which is to facilitate the world&#8217;s real-time conversations. We&#8217;re building on the popularity of the Open AIM program and opening up the AIM Call Out platform, enabling open standards voice communication services to proliferate in the marketplace.&#8217;&#8221;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Advertising Age (4/7, Brodesser-Akner) reported, &#8220;The words &#8216;double cheeseburger&#8217; and &#8216;haute couture&#8217; don&#8217;t often get uttered in the same breath, but high fashion and high cholesterol are making for interesting bedfellows online, thanks to McDonald&#8217;s and MySpace TV.&#8221; The piece continued, &#8220;When MySpace TV started airing the celebrity fashion show &#8216;Who What Wear&#8217; early in December 2007, it was bereft of corporate sponsors. Created by Katherine Power, the former West Coast editor of Elle, and Hillary Kerr, a former lifestyle editor at the magazine, the show, like its companion website, focused on how to access high-style runway fashions and the latest Hollywood threads, and all without the celebrity snark that&#8217;s made TMZ.com and Perez Hilton guilty sensations. &#8230; But the two would prefer if you ordered something from McDonald&#8217;s Dollar Menu &#8212; maybe a side salad or a double cheeseburger? That&#8217;s because the fast feeder has just started sponsoring their web show, advertising its value-menu selections at the start and finish, and sponsoring a special bonus video segment called &#8216;Ask a Stylist&#8217; that&#8217;s specifically identified as &#8216;brought to you by McDonald&#8217;s.&#8217; And as Ms. Power and Ms. Kerr have discovered, stylishness without churlishness or salaciousness is proving downright appetizing to advertisers.&#8221;</div>

Digital Effort Aiming To Unite Multiple Fronts Faces Various Obstacles

<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Over the past two years, Lynda Clarizio has helped build Advertising.com, AOL&#8217;s ad network, into one of the hottest properties in online advertising. Her reward: She gets to try to clean up one of the Internet company&#8217;s messiest divisions.</p>
<p><img class="imgrgtbdy" style="margin-left:15px;padding:0;" src="http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/HC-GL726_Clariz_20080325180853.gif" border="0" alt="[Lynda Clarizio]" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="136" height="230" align="right" title="AOL Ad Project, Platform A, Plots Plan B" /></p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;"><a href="http://online.wsj.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&amp;symbol=twx"class="times rolloverQuote"  onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://online.wsj.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&amp;symbol=twx');">Time Warner</a>&#8217;s AOL unit is aiming to transform itself from an Internet service provider into a full-service digital-advertising business. To that end, it has spent about $1 billion to buy seven ad-technology firms with different areas of expertise, from behavioral targeting to video ads. The next step is to knit them together with Advertising.com &#8212; an entity AOL has dubbed Platform A, but has yet to take to market.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">AOL&#8217;s future largely hinges on the success of that transformation, which involves aggressively slashing costs, forsaking billions of dollars in overall subscription revenue, and laying off thousands of employees. Time Warner Chief Executive Jeff Bewkes has said that mission is key to plotting a new course for a company whose stock price has stagnated in recent years.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">But Platform A is off to a rocky start. In its first six months, it has been marked by failed sales targets, tensions among its different business groups, and, most recently, the dismissal of its president, Curt Viebranz. A number of marketers say they are ready to spend their ad dollars with Platform A, but can&#8217;t because the disparate units still operate independently.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">The idea behind Platform A is that AOL can be a one-stop shop for placing ads both on AOL&#8217;s own Web sites and on the broader Web, through its ad networks like Advertising.com, which sell ads on thousands of Web sites. So far, though, the company is a long way from that reality. AOL is fourth among the major Web portals &#8212; behind Google, Microsoft&#8217;s MSN and Yahoo &#8212; in ad revenue, and the pace of its ad-revenue growth has also dropped off. AOL&#8217;s ad revenue grew 12% in 2007, compared with 37% in 2006 and 38% in 2005, according to research firm eMarketer.</p>
<p><img class="imglftbdy" style="margin-right:15px;padding:0;" src="http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/MK-AO804_ADVERT_20080325192411.gif" border="0" alt="[chart]" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="469" height="230" align="left" title="AOL Ad Project, Platform A, Plots Plan B" /></p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Even Advertising.com, a rare bright spot in AOL&#8217;s business recently, is facing new pressures. A major part of a two-year deal with its biggest advertiser, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&amp;symbol=APOL"class="times rolloverQuote"  onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://online.wsj.com/quotes/main.html?type=djn&amp;symbol=APOL');">Apollo Group</a>&#8217;s University of Phoenix, ended in January. Advertising.com was University of Phoenix&#8217;s exclusive online marketing partner, managing its ad buys both on its network of sites and on other ad networks. The deal generated $215 million for AOL in 2007, up $58 million from $157 million in 2006, and accounted for 17% of AOL&#8217;s ad-revenue growth last year. (University of Phoenix will continue to buy ads on the Advertising.com network, but decided to take its ad buying in-house.)</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">AOL&#8217;s biggest competitors are developing their own ad networks, which will make life tougher for Advertising.com. &#8220;If I get the inkling they are not innovating, I&#8217;m going to look elsewhere and talk to Yahoo or any of the other Web giants,&#8221; says Tom Hespos, president of Underscore Marketing, a closely held digital agency in New York.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">AOL executives have picked Ms. Clarizio, 47 years old, to rescue Platform A, which has the widest reach of any ad network in the country &#8212; reaching 90% of the U.S. online audience, according to comScore &#8212; but isn&#8217;t able to effectively sell across that spectrum yet. A nine-year veteran of AOL, Ms. Clarizio led the deal team that acquired Advertising.com in 2004 for $435 million. That unit has accounted for nearly a quarter of AOL&#8217;s revenue and is one of the fastest-growing parts of the company.</p>
<p><img class="imgrgtbdy" style="margin-left:15px;padding:0;" src="http://s.wsj.net/public/resources/images/OA-AR972_market_20080326000812.gif" border="0" alt="[timeline]" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="197" height="360" align="right" title="AOL Ad Project, Platform A, Plots Plan B" /></p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Trained as a lawyer, Ms. Clarizio is known internally for an analytical mind and an ability to delegate. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, she came to AOL from Washington law firm Arnold &amp; Porter, where she was a partner for seven years and also worked as an AOL outside counsel.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">While AOL is known as a relatively slow-moving, bureaucratic company, Advertising.com has developed a different reputation. &#8220;AOL has reinvented itself so many times. It is hard to keep track,&#8221; says Adam Schlachter, senior partner and group director at Mediaedge:cia, a media-planning firm that is a part of WPP Group&#8217;s Group M. &#8220;(Advertising.com) has been able to grow steadily, consistently and innovate.&#8221;</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Ad.com grew from a cramped townhouse on the outskirts of Baltimore, where brothers Scott and John Ferber opened a digital advertising company called TeknoSurf in 1998. Their idea was to piece together a network of Web sites where they would buy ad space, then resell it to advertisers at a premium. It changed its name to Advertising.com in 2000.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Ms. Clarizio tried to embrace Ad.com&#8217;s start-up spirit. The company remained at its Baltimore headquarters, instead of relocating to AOL&#8217;s Dulles, Va., base, 60 miles away. She dressed up for Halloween and competed in relay races.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">She also has tried to get the company&#8217;s various sales teams and engineers working on common goals. During daily 9 a.m. meetings in Ad.com&#8217;s &#8220;War Room,&#8221; midlevel executives discuss the previous day&#8217;s results and chart the next day&#8217;s goals.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Ms. Clarizio wants to replicate that culture at Platform A, which suffers from duplication among its sales, tech and other groups. Different ad units, for instance, call on the same clients &#8212; in essence competing for the business. One of Ms. Clarizio&#8217;s first moves in her new post was to announce a &#8220;leadership team&#8221; for Platform A. The new structure puts in place one sales team, one technology team, one<br />
product and operations team, one marketing team and one publisher-services team to cut across all the company&#8217;s different ad units.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">Some digital-advertising executives question whether combining sales teams is the right strategy. They fear Ad.com&#8217;s emphasis on data-driven results will come to dominate Platform A, frustrating bigger-brand marketers used to the tailored campaigns they have gotten from some of AOL&#8217;s ad-sales teams.</p>
<p class="times" style="font-family:'times new roman',times,serif;">But Ms. Clarizio is moving full speed ahead with the integration. AOL also announced last week that it has integrated two of the companies that provided separate search-engine-marketing services &#8212; Advertising.com and Quigo, a contextual targeting ad firm AOL acquired last fall. &#8220;It&#8217;s an example of what we need to do across the board. It&#8217;s definitely an iterative process and takes a lot of work to do that,&#8221; Ms. Clarizio says.</p>
