AOL Purchases Widget Firm
If you ever needed more proof of AOL’s downfall… While Microsoft is busy buying Yahoo, AOL just bought a Widget developer. San Diego’s Goowy Media was just acquired by AOL to offer a “widget-based advertising solution, which enables a dynamic ad unit that includes real time content and provides a rich media experience with greater interactivity than traditional online ads.”
In other words, checking your AOL e-mail is going to get even more annoying.
Goowy has previously worked with AOL to create original widgets for myAOL.
