Essay About Newest Version Of The Aol Software And Popular Features

AOL 6.0 is the newest version of the AOL software and
service. Weve streamlined the look, enhanced our most
popular features and services, and added an array of other
exciting innovations to bring the AOL service to a new level
of ease of use and everyday convenience, and to give current
members and other online consumers even more reasons to
enjoy the benefits of AOL membership.

New Benefits of “AOL Anywhere”(SM)
AOL 6.0 is another major step in our “AOL Anywhere” (SM)
strategy of making our members lives easier and more
convenient by making AOLs industry-leading brands and
features available to them anywhere, anytime they want –

pagers, and other personal mobile devices.
As part of its new design, AOL 6.0 features a new button on
the main toolbar that directly connects members to a new
“AOL Anywhere” site. This new “AOL Anywhere” site brings
to life the spectrum of AOL features and services that
members can access from wherever they are, including AOL e-

portfolios, and other personalized news and local
information – from either the Web or non-PC devices. AOL
is also introducing a new AOL by Phone voice service, which
lets members access their AOL accounts using their voice –
from any telephone. These services will roll out with the
AOL 6.0 service later this year.
