AOL Rolls Out AIM Video Service
America Online Inc. is now beta testing a streaming media video service through its AOL Instant Messenger software. Dubbed AIM Video, the service will feature music videos, movie trailers, entertainment news, celebrity interviews and sports highlights.
Source: eWeekOther digital content originates from a horizontal expansion of AOL's members-only AOL Television channel that extends AIM's 36 million active users an all-access pass to proprietary comedy, news and other features.
At the moment, AOL has limited content to a total of twelve clips from six different channels including: "What's New," "Music," "Movies & TV," "News & Money," "Lifestyles" and "Sports." Content is provided by AOL's parent company Time Warner Inc., and partners such as film studios, record companies and television networks.
