Macromedia and America Online Announce Partnership

 
Nov 11, 2003
Macromedia MAX 2003 - Salt Lake City - November 19, 2003 - Macromedia and America Online, Inc. announced a strategic partnership that builds on the promise of Macromedia Central and the power of the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM and ICQ) platforms. Central is a new Macromedia offering that enables people to interact with distributed information in a more meaningful and relevant way. This partnership opens the door for hundreds of thousands of Macromedia Flash developers to build applications that take advantage of presence and other instant messaging features found in the AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ services.

With the partnership, both companies will work together to integrate the features and functionality of the America Online Presence and Instant Messaging SDK into Macromedia Central. Under terms of the licensing agreement, the SDK will be made available to Macromedia Central developers and will contain application programming interfaces (APIs) and development tools for the AOL Instant Messenger platform, allowing developers, for the first time ever, to seamlessly integrate these powerful capabilities directly into their business or consumer desktop applications.
