This review updated: 04/08/2005 Featured in magazine: Issue 115 Manufacturer Contacts: Supplier: AOL Web Address: www.aol.co.uk/aim AOL Instant Messenger (or AIM for short) was originally developed to let AOL's members chat among themselves, but is also available for anyone to download. Compared to the bells and whistles of the other instant messengers, with their winks, nudges, avatars and other multimedia functions, AIM is sparsely featured. However, it still has the basic essentials and gives you the options of chatting via typing, talking or webcam. The program's main interface is uncluttered, so using it at a basic level is simple. Everything you might want to do on a day-to-day basis is present on the screen, while access to its more advanced functions, like voice and video messaging, become available when you open a chat window.
Verdict
More Instant Messengers reviews:
However, unless you've got a lot of mates who are rooted to AIM there are more fun things to do in the other messengers, which ultimately make it easier and more fun to keep in touch. |
