AOL Blatantly Copies Yahoo Explicitly With New ‘Portal’
If you haven’t heard, AOL just released a new portal. And for hmm, some reason - it looks like an almost exact copy of Yahoo.
Same screwy login and mail systems, color choices, it’s like a bad clone. I mean com’on. Yahoo has been out for about a year now? Maybe a little less? You’d think AOL would at least try to redesign maybe the um, menu? Let’s see some screenshots:

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

What a rip off, people still pay for AOL, why?

Hilarious. I don’t think anyone still pays for AOL though.

@One year goal..Yes they do, and my aunt is one of them. HaHa. I think the only people who pay for Aol still are somewhat computer illiterate and only know Aol and nothing else, not even Internet Explorer. Either way still a rip-off by Aol

Shows that their web designers have very little imagination if they have to go copying other sites. I wonder will Yahoo! do anything? Or is there anything that they can do?

That’s pretty ridiculous - and just goes to show what lengths AOL will take to stay in business. I used to use them a long time ago, but you don’t see them much in the UK anymore.

Yahoo would have the edge except for that picture of Star Jones, lol. Get it off! Or at least replace it with Whoopi.
