If imitation is flattery there should be a lot of flattered tech companies right now
Social networking leader MySpace has just launched its IM client (let’s call it the “AIM Killer”) meanwhile IM leader AIM has just launched it’s social networking tools (the “MySpace Killer“).
Meanwhile Microsoft is trying to launch one of everything that Google launches which is kind of easy because Google is trying to build a web service for everything that Microsoft does.
We already wrote about the silly me-too-isms going on in the social networking travel sites.
Can’t someone come up with an original idea? Say an AJAX IM client that reads email-generated RSS feeds?**
**Note: If you think this is actually a good idea, you are seriously in need of Web 2.0 decompression.
