AIM

Some time ago, I wrote about how AIM Triton was evil. Over a year ago actually. I stated using GAIM and was very happy with it. However, about a month ago, my friend Dan recommended I try out AIM 6.0 with Ad-Hack, which removes any unwanted software and ads during installation. I’ve got to say, I am pretty impressed.

First of all, 6.0 is much cleaner/more modern looking than GAIM. It’s slick and they did a nice job of organizing a lot of information. 6.0 also included some things that I liked about GAIM- namely tabbed IMs and Aliasing. The best part was AIM actually pulled my GAIM aliases, which was a pleasant surprise.

Another thing I really like about AIM is the facebook plugin. It will automatically tell me when I have a new message, wall post etc. And there is a multitude of features I haven’t tried yet, like VoIP, Video Chat, and AOL video and radio. All in all I feel AOL did a really nice job taking AIM to the next level, utilizing new technologies and embracing plug in development. They’ve also taken into account things that users have been wanting for some time now, such as tabs. I highly recommend it.
