AIM allows to keep in touch with family, friends, colleagues in a very easy manner.
AIM is a reference despite fierce competition from Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger.
The application offers support tabs for the chat feature, which requires the installation of third party software for Windows Live Messenger, Messenger Plus as interface. AIM also integrates with other AOL services and features and allows to listen to AOL Radio stations from the client, or manage AOL Webmail account.
With AIM, AOL Messenger, user can exchange messages instantly online with friends, relatives, colleagues, participate in trade shows public discussion on the favorite topics and also know permanently if his family, friends or colleagues are connected.
* Upload pictures with your status messages.
Sometimes a message really needs a picture to get the point across. Now you can upload a picture from your PC that will appear next to your status message in AIM 7 and in the lifestream. For now, the pics will be shown next to your status only when viewed by AIM 7 and lifestream users.
* Stability improvements.
We found a bunch of crashes in Beta 2 (thanks for the testing!) and have done a lot of work that we believe will make Beta 3 more stable. We're always trying to make AIM as reliable as we can.
