AOL instant messenger is not equal to ICQ chat

by three_ster Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10, Aug 14 '00
Pros: chat system, free
Cons: no offline messaging, bad search engine
For the past couple of months, I have been using AOL Instant Messenger, and I have a couple of things that I need to complain about. For instance, the ability to send a message to a person that is not currently online appears to be non-existent with this...

Money saver from AOL

by opinionated3 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Dec 10 '00
Pros: real time communication
Cons: none
I have been using AOL for about 6 years and one of the best features of AOL has to be Instant Messaging. This allows AOL me to send messages real time, instead of e-mail or in a chatroom.

This was a great thing for me, because my family which...

About The Only Thing America Online Does Right!

by awoolcott Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jul 20 '00
Pros: A wealth of great features
Cons: Occasionally freezes. Kinda nitpicky huh?
Internet mega-giant America Online has seemingly tons of problems. Despite having seemingly every Internet user on their ISP, no one seems to like them! I wouldn't know from experience, because I am lucky enough to never have had AOL as my ISP. But I...

AOL Instant Messenger--This is My Favorite!

by marsha32 , Nov 17 '00
Pros: So many options
Cons: Can't leave offline messages
I had heard of the AOL Instant messenger, but never intended to use it. I was quite satisfied using ICQ.
I had also tried Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger and even GoToWorld's messenger. Of course I used GoToWorlds strictly because you were...

Keep in touch...From anywhere!

by basilisk4 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 01 '01
Pros: Free, easy to use, fast download
Cons: Not exactly overloaded with features
Do you have communication problems? If so, AOL Instant Messenger may just help you solve them. I'm not talking about the kind of communication problems that involve suppressed urges, your mother, or anything else Freudian -- but if your problem stems...

Hello Hello.....

by carygoings , Mar 31 '01
Pros: Great free way to talk to family and friends.
Cons: None.
I had AIM with my AOL years ago... I did not know at first that you could download it with out having AOL.. That was great. Since I hated the AOL service.. Always getting booted and such..

So I got my new ISP and surly downloaded AIM. Because...

Why pay for AOL when you can have AIM?

by CDFrye120 , Aug 18 '01
Pros: Easy to use, all of the features that I liked about AOL without the hassle.
Cons: I wish I had done this sooner.
Cheaper than the phone, quicker than email, download AOL’s free software to communicate with fellow users!!!!!!!!!!

For years I was an AOL user until I became frustrated and switched to Roadrunner (go see my Roadrunner opinion at

Keeping in touch...is easy.....

by Jennd417 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 06 '00
Pros: buddy talk, several screen names, free, easy to use
Cons: can not be invisible like Icq
After being on AOL for a few months we decided to change ISP's. There were several reasons for us doing this, the main being that we never stayed connected. AOL tried to get me to stay but for $21.95 a month, I said NO THANKS.

I belong...

If you need me, IM me!

by Mom2TyZick Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 10 '00
Pros: Fast, free and easy!
Cons: May be slow during peak hours.
"If my phone line is busy, IM me." This is the instruction I give to anyone who may need me in an emergency, because I am most assuredly not talking on the phone! I'm always on the computer! AOL has saved my life with this nifty little...

Come on Join in the Fun!

by ginaav , Dec 07 '00
Pros: More features than AOL buddy list
Cons: none
I am on AOL, so I have access to the internal buddy list feature that comes with the program. however, I was not happy with the feature until the latest version 6.0 came out. I talked to a few friends, and they told me that I should download AOL Instant...

We Know it's Evil, but We All Use it Anyway

by beckytcy Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Sep 07 '02
Pros: can talk to multiple people, file transfer, away messages
Cons: voyeurism, hard to avoid people, impersonal
When I think about the AOL Instant Messager (commonly referred to as AIM), it makes me sort of sad. Years ago, people used to call each other on the phone or (gasp!) go to each other's homes to chat. Don't people ever talk to each other in person...

Instant Messenger is the ONLY AOL related thing I'll use!

by djsplendid Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 05 '00
Pros: free, no need for aol, keep in touch
Cons: it's affiliated with AOL
If you've read my epinion on AOL then you know I cannot stand the company. But I had been a user of the service for several years. I made many friends, and do like to keep in touch with a lot of them. I now have a cable modem (switching to DSL soon, see...

You've Got Messages!

by RCarte2000 , Mar 02 '01
Pros: Fun and easy way to chat real time. Let's me see when someone's online.
Cons: Locks up sometimes. Members don't always show up on list.
Probably my favorite feature with America Online has got to be AOL Instant Messenger. The entire concept truly amazes me and the fact that they keep adding features to it really blows my mind as well. I only use AOL IM through my AOL service,...

Bringing our family together

by LisaDo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 18 '00
Pros: Uses less resources than other IMs
Cons: None, really, but I liked the skins on the other IM.
We have had AIM for about two months now. We had it for a while before, but we also had ICQ at the time. ICQ used way to much of our hard drive and resources, often causing our computer to crash. Since most of the people on ICQ also had AIM, we...

THE WORDS ARE MUSIC TO MY EARS

by Donnie013 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Dec 14 '00
Pros: better than the telephone
Cons: none
I thought for sure my husband would either have a stroke or staple my mouth shut.

We had just moved to Florida (our families were still in New York and Connecticut) and while up north, I'd gotten in the habit of calling them frequently....
