Choose Your Chat Room Experience

As you may have noticed ... there are two different chat experiences to choose from across AOL. Whether you've been chatting with the same groups of friends for years, or want to get back into the whole chat thing -- we've got a couple of options for you.

AIM Chat is full of awesome chat rooms, with new and improved features. From the AIM Chat listings page you can view the most active chats, the most recent chats or take a look at random chats and jump into the conversation. Of course, you have the ability to create your own chat room. Simply go to chat.aim.com to get started.

Hooked on the old AOL Chat experience? If you're used to chatting in these AOL Chat Rooms you can continue to get there by signing into AOL, going to People Connection and clicking on the Chat tab. Voila!

Now that you know your options, choose the Chat experience that is right for you.

Boards Migration - All Clear

Hello Boards Users. We are finished with our database migration. Access to all your favorites and preferences should be readily accessible now.

Thank you for your patience!
Happy Posting!

Boards Migration on Sunday

Hello Boards Users. Wanted to give you a quick heads up that this weekend, we'll be migrating our boards database behind the scenes, which may cause strange behavior between 10PM ET on Sunday, 2/10 and mid-Monday 2/11.

This is what you can expect. Your saved preferences, favorite boards and signatures will be unavailable during the migration. You will also not be able to save any preferences changes during this time. Rest assured that they all will return as soon as the migration period is over on Monday -- at least that's what they tell me.

You will be able to read and post while all this is going on.

We're sorry for the inconvenience!

As They Say In Community, It's Never Really Goodbye...

After nine years and three months, today is my last day at AOL. It's been a wild ride, lots of fun, and a tremendous learning experience. Besides working with such great folks, where else could one have the opportunity to run such a large community operation and get to know some of the most interesting, savvy, and committed community members in the world? I will miss you, more than you know.

But... other opportunities, both personal and professional have been calling and the time is right for me to move on.

My AOL e-mail box will not work after today, so if you want to stay in touch, feel free to write to NYMeng@aol.com. You can also keep track of my daily activities by reading Hummingbird Mind.

Before you ask what I'll do with myself, I have some plans. Here's just a short list:

* Sleep
* Exercise
* Read
* Play with my new granddaughter
* Fish with my father
* Walk the beach
* Focus on the youth oriented non profit I started last year with some other parents
* Take many road trips
* Complete a book I've been writing

That's just a start. I plan to take off at least a month before starting some consulting work I've been offered.

I'll also still visit AOL communities, so if you see me online, feel free to ping me.

It's not goodbye, it's so long and see you soon.

P.S. Be good!

This Is My Last Blog Entry.

Joseph Manna, Picture taken in Las Vegas (2006)Hi, folks.

I just wanted to take a moment and inform you that this is my final blog entry on the Social Media Blog since tomorrow is my last day with AOL.

The Social Media Blog will be transitioned into the warm hands of Kelly Wilson. Hang tight for a bit as she irons out the final plans with the blog. If you'd like to stay on top of the Web 2.0 and technology in general, check out Frank Gruber's Somewhat Frank. (In his day job, he's a senior product manager for myAOL.)

That said, it's been my sincere pleasure to help and support all of you via this blog, message boards, e-mail and even Instant Message. If you'd like, you can still find me blogging on my personal blog.

Many thanks and take care. :-)

~Joseph
