AOL Acquires Userplane

Thursday, August 17. 2006

AOL has acquired Userplane, the maker video chat, messaging, and other online community tools white-labeled by more than 100,000 sites. The financials of the deal were not disclosed.

Userplane CEO Mike Jones noted that Userplane will continue to support all of its existing customers and move quickly to allow AOL messenger users to contact Userplane users. Currently, Userplane users are registered by the site offering the service - Facebook.com, for example. Integration with AOL messenger could help unify a person's identity across sites, making their experience more seemless.
