Overview
History
Barry Schuler set up Medior. Looking to take advantage of the opportunities that a new "Interactive" medium would bring, Schuler teamed up with Tracy Schuler and David Goldman shortly after and established Medior Inc., a multimedia development company, Medior Inc. In 1994, the company entered into a joint venture with, Apple Computer Inc., and Redgate Communications and launched 2Market, considered to be the first rich media online shopping service. That same year, AOL (America Online) also enlisted Medior's help designing its product to give consumers with little or no computing expertise easy access to its online information services. While at Medior, Schuler and company co-developed a music creation game with Nick Tenbrock and Gary Levenberg of San Francisco-based Interactive Audio. The software, called Rock, Rap and Roll, allowed Macintosh users to quickly build soundtracks in a variety of musical styles. Medior also collaborated with Time Warner, one of its clients, on the building of the world's first digital, switched, interactive broadband communications network delivering a range of services. The service was launched in December 1994 in Orlando, Florida.
In 1995, Medior was acquired by AOL. of Which Schuler became CEO.
