Do you want to work for one of the top destinations on the Web? AOL is fast growing our audience with our free web offerings, including email, AIM and social networking products. Our advertising revenue is growing fast and our user base is growing fast. AOL is a great place to work – you can learn a lot, your products are used by millions and hey – we have great perks too!

We need sharp, motivated and passionate people to join our team.

- You work on products that are used my millions of people. Your product get reach. How about that?
- We want motivated, energetic and eager people to join our team. Sound like you? Do you want to build killer widgets for users? Maybe you don’t have all the exact AJAX or DHTML skills, but want to learn? Read on!


Position includes :
- Writing widgets that allow a personalized experience to be built on AOL’s web sites. You’d write widgets using DHTML, HTML, AJAX and Flash technologies. The widgets span from one that shows email and Instant Mesdages , to one that show is your “social status” such as facebook, myspace, youtube, flckr and bebo.
- Syndicating these widgets across sites outside of the AOL network – so your stuff goes across the web.
- Passion and drive. We want people with passion and drive, who can learn quickly and want the best product for the users. You don’t need to know everything.

We are looking for sharp, motivated engineers who can build out widgets for our AOL applications and syndicate these across the web – think of syndication across Facebook, MySpace and of course our brand new “myAOL” product and iGoogle. If you are interested in jumping in, and working in a dynamic, fast paced environment, send your resume or better yet, send an example of your work! Come and be part of a great team.

Cheers!

In Memory: Leo Pot

Today is one of those days that feels "empty" or "numb".    I attended a funeral for Leo Pot, who died on July 4th from Cancer.     Such a nice man, very successful with his businesses, and a great family.  Funny, sharp, witty.   He shared a glass of wine or two with me, and gave me thoughts on life after leaving my last job.    More important, he has a wonderful family.    It's hard seeing his 3 young daughters at the funeral, each dealing with grief.  Live each day to the fullest.  Make sure you get the most out of what you do, and spend time with people you care about.

I read the blogosphere,  and often see articles on some feature or product that has been launched.   Then I follow the comments.   You get the normal AOL bashing,  some people who like it, some people who bash and have never used the product being reviewed.  All the normal stuff. But Frank Gruber set an example for me last year.  When he spots these comments, he follows up with a comment and (if possible) contacts the person who wrote the it. Often the comments don't have contact info or use real names.  But if they do, Frank will email them as follow up.  And the response is normally good.      If Frank can do it (as busy as he is), so can we all do it. The latest blog that struck me was this article " Yes, People Still Use AOL " on Silicon Alley Insider.  The first comment was negative, the third was negative.   ...
