Just saw that Socialthing is in the process of being acquired by AOL.

While this is certainly good news for Socialthing developers, I hope it doesn’t come back to bite them in the ass. AOL after all is pretty much known for fraking up everything they buy. Look what happened to WinAmp, ICQ, and Netscape.

Now the question is, what will happen to AOL? Time Warner has been looking to shed itself of that turd ever since it (for some reason) decided to buy it up… Will we see AOL finally picked up by Yahoo? With SocialThing, Bebo, Sphere, Xdrive, and of course the AIM/ICQ messaging networks it could really turn Yahoo around.
