Wishing them a Happy Hallowe'en, some folks over at AOL backhandedly critique Google for lack of originality in what several commenters referred to as a "petty" post.
One comment noted: "I don't get the joke. Did GMail adopt a clunkier interface for Hallowe'en?" (Ouch.)
Another said: "Scoreboard: TWX $10.09. GOOG $359.36." Ouch again.
Interesting point buried in the spite, though: the AOL Webmail team introduced an attachment reminder feature in 2007, well before GMail did. On one hand, we should probably smack some common sense into our own heads whenever we find ourselves a little too impressed with an incremental feature release from the Big G. On the other, I'm guessing Google's attachment warning feature works better than AOL's. Just a hunch.
