RSSAIM Architect Leaves AOL for Google
By Nate Mook | Published October 16, 2006, 4:45 PM
Justin Uberti, lead developer of AOL Instant Messenger who worked on the product for almost nine years, last week left the company and joined the ranks of Google. Uberti played an integral role in the launch of AIM Triton and the Open AIM initiative.
Google has long been hiring top talent from rivals such as Microsoft and Yahoo, and Uberti's departure from AOL may indicate the search giant wishes to grow its fledgling Google Talk client. As part of Google's $1 billion investment in AOL, the companies already plan to link up their IM networks and Uberti could play a role in making that a reality.
Oh one more thing don't forget GOOGLE Energy.

|google the toilet paper
google the condom
google the lunchbox
google the mel brooks
AIM and all th eother msgers i dont prefer, so i use trillian. anything to keep that other software off my machine. Gaim is also another multi platform proggy. So my suggestion is to not feed the massive.
i use google for a search engine as well, thats about it. i use mapquest for maps and directions, hasnt stranded me yet :P

|You have the quote wrong.
"We put the pictures name on everything. Merchandising. Merchandising. Where the real money from the movie is made. Spaceballs-the T-s***, Spaceballs-the Coloring Book, Spaceballs-the Lunch box, Spaceballs-the Breakfast Cereal, Spaceballs-the Flame Thrower...The kids love this one. Last, but not least, Spaceballs - the Doll."
Google the T-s*** (definitely exists)
Google the Coloring Book (it could exist)
Google the Lunch Box (probably exists)
Google the Breakfast Cereal (err...)
Google the Flamethrower (um...)
Google the doll (possibly)

|Dude, I’m still mourning ICQ.
One day the most popular and promising IM around.
And the next day ICQ gets hit by a bus. (AOL was driving)
