Human interaction online is a ping pong experience and is actually a tedious aspect. You tend to hop around through various media sites checking out on the latest games, music, videos and movies or you are shuttling between Yahoo and Gmail account or you are on AIM and Twitter.
AOL offers an easier alternative. Content from various sites can be updated which includes media sites, social feeds like Twitter, e-mails, etc. Information is effectively aggregated from an impressive range of services and sites including AOL Mail, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Delicious, Yahoo and Gmail with the help of the new social inbox Bebo. Using already existing screen names, AIM and AOL mail users numbering more than hundred million can log on to Bebo.
This smart move by AOL brings the once popular Bebo, which is at present overshadowed by MySpace and Facebook social networks, back to prominence. Bebo also gets an interesting facelift effectively gravitating users to check out the site.
Though the prospect of signing up for yet another community online is daunting for many, especially with creating another user name and password, the appealing aspect here is the one stop inbox. There is one disadvantage, though. This network does not work with popular competitors like MySpace and Facebook. This may result in turning away of a lot of potential users.
Access to Bebo is granted to users of AIM and AOL Mail immediately which is an advantage. According to the company, at least a hundred million people worldwide are using AOL for their e-mail requirements. At least a few of them are sure to check out the features of Bebo.
