AOL Australia launches. Whatever

Apparently it is the third try for AOL to launch in Australia. Here’s the Beta website:

Can’t really see the point myself – AOL have no lock in downunder so unless the website is associated with a source of traffic then it just seems irrelevant.

That’s a shame as AIM is huge in the USA, an iChat on the mac works with AIM but not (I believe) with Microsoft’s chat.  AOL is few too many years to late, and with a less than compelling offer, on the surface anyway.
