AOL is rolling out its new homepage in the UK, http://www.aol.co.uk/newhomepage, that will let consumers access multiple e-mail accounts and social networking services from a single online destination. The new AOL.co.uk homepage will be opened to third-party services and content, providing consumers with new customisation options while offering advertisers new opportunities to tap into an increasingly engaged audience. Dana Dunne, AOL Europe Chief Executive, said: “The reinvented homepage offers a convenient, one-stop destination where users can access everything they love on the Web within just a few clicks.”

AOL announced Socialthing, a new platform that brings social networking services to websites and enables publishers to attract new users and keep them engaged wherever they are on the Web. Socialthing premiered on The Boot -- AOL's country music site. It will launch on AOL's movie blog site, Cinematical, in the coming weeks and will eventually extend to all of AOL's network of sites.
