How long can AOL survive this departure? Well Ed AOL seems to have the killer app on tap, AOL TV: Steve Case said, "We're targeting AOLTV for the internet user who is a little less web savvy then the current AOL user, so LifeMinders technology is a must have feature." LifeMinders will use the familiar "You've got mail," voice for announcements such as "Don't forget to eat," "Go to sleep now," and "Did you remember to wipe?". These reminders will repeat at random intervals. "If they can figure it out, AOLTV subscribers can customise the interval, and also configure which reminders they need," added Case. LifeMinders technology also incorporates a sensor which will turn on the TV when the user enters the room. Targeting people who are 'less internet savvy' than current subscribers may sound like a great strategy, but do these people actually exist? itvnews.com Thanks to Larry Kagan on the CCUR board for pointing me to this article....I laughed so hard I fell off my chair.
