Yes, I know. But, it's not LIKE AOL... it has a dry look to it and isn't very fun to use... mind you I looked at this stuff for about five minutes on excite. It's not my cup of tea, but I do know a lot of people live for that messaging stuff. The AOL version was a little more graphical for the first time user from what I can tell and from what I?ve seen of people using the aol app... I?ve never seen anyone use the excite board and if I wasn't holding stock I don't know if I would have even known about it... I didn't know about the photo albums (don't really care about it either). Maybe it's all the advertising and cross promotion excite/ATHM is doing...<insert smart-ass comment here>. I guess the point I was trying to make was that this is a kill app for most people but ATHM is basically a zero in the area both in it's look, feel, and execution of letting people become aware of it. Same reason I read SI over other boards is that SI's look and feel is easy to use and clear-cut as well as being well known to others. We all like our brands to look good feel good and actually be accessible. Is that too much to ask for from excite? Excite who? <Insert second smart-ass comment here>.
