You talk as if AOL invented chat. They didn't by a long shot.

Pittman's amusement park analogy is crap, displaying mainly lack of
understanding. And his notion that users should like busy signals
because they display willingness to stand on line for rides at an
amusement park is incredible. At an amusement park at least if you
pay your money they let you inside! (and there's stuff to do that
doesn't have lines; and where there are at least you can see how
long they are and estimate how long the wait).
