Instant Messaging Via AOL

AOL Instant Messenger was first introduced only for AOL users but is now available to anyone with Internet access. With bundling deals in place with Netscape and RealPlayer, AIM is now in use on more than 40 million computers. AOL reports that more than 500 million instant messages are sent each day using its Instant Messenger software alone.

In addition to instant messages, AIM also offers users the ability to participate in group chat rooms, get instant news and stock quotes (via separate tickers), receive e-mail alerts, find friends and family online, share pictures and documents with other users, search the web, and exchange voice messages.
