USERPLANE -- Aug 14 -- One recent night before inking our first-round with a top VC - we were approached by AOL's CEO, Jon Miller… Userplane will continue to support all communities small and large. Our business model will remain unchanged - startup-style. Any relationship between our network and AOL's will be completely optional. Expect to see an abundance of new features and innovation. For years, Userplane has been dreaming of federated identity and network interoperability with AIM. AIM Interoperability will be an added feature for our clients in the near future! We are also going to be working with Open AIM to become a quick installation and robust A/V front-end for the AOL network. No pricing changes are planned at all. In fact, we're releasing an ad-supported package for our integrated clients as part of this transition. Our core data center will remain in LA but we will be expanding to Europe and Asia with AOL's greater resources. We're staying put in LA with the same team :) Soon we will be moving into larger offices down the road in Santa Monica…
