AOL Instant Messenger

Pros: Nothing special
Cons: Warning, Files, Slow, message speed.

To start with AIM is made by AOL so it has to suck right there.

AOL has made AIM so much better than the IM area in AOL, why is that?? Would you want to make AOL better because then people have to pay to use it??

AIM is nice, you...

Pros: Simplicity, Automatically Saved Buddy List
Cons: None

I'll admit it, I don't really like AOL. I've used the AOL internet experience, and I wasn't impressed. Give me a normal ISP anyday, and I'll be happy.

When my family bought a computer 5 years ago, the internet wasn't very big in my area at...

I didn't see any reviews since version 4.7 is released but maybe i'm just blind :)

This is wonderful for me. My father is not on AOL and before I got my computer my phone bills were sky high. I figured buy a computer and we can email each other back and forth, it will have to save some money on phone bills in the long run. When we...

Pros: Works For Me

AOL may have had problems in the past with access, but the AIM has never had the glitches that the service has had. I installed it on my Mom’s computer so that we could save money on long distance phone calls and we have definitely done that.

Pros: keeps me laughing
Cons: nothing!

I have AOL. So I have access to Instant Messenger. I have been using it for about a year now. It is so important to my life, I cannot even begin to tell you. But I will try my best.

Pros: Ease of use, constant upgrades, a joy to use.
Cons: Zero-None-Nada-Zilch

As far as I'm concerned, AOL IM is the only chat program you need. It's small and simple, unlike IRC or ICQ. With the recent upgrades, you can get a voice chat going pretty easily, send and receive files, and much more.

I highly recommend...

Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: None

If you are anything like me you have a very hard time staying in touch with friends or family over long distances. I am just not very good at writing or making phone calls. AOL has fixed all of that with AIM.

Pros: Incredibly easy to use, able to talk to AOL members
Cons: still not too great, you can't talk to ICQ members

America Online Instant Messenger is, surprisingly, not that bad! It's not great either, but certainly much better than Aol, which is highly overrated. The reason AOL is so popular is probably because people are so lazy. AIM is much better for what it...

Pros: FREE FREE FREE FREEEEEEEEEEEE
Cons: NONE

I had lost my job and my voice phone line was disconnected because I was unable to pay. (Phone Co. frown on you not paying the bill (LOL)). Because of this I was very concerned about keeping in touch with family in other states. I did not want to rack...

Pros: Easy Interface
Cons: Warning System

I believe that AOL instant messenger service is simply the best out there right now. AIM has several competators such as ICQ and Yahoo, but none of them have the simple interface that AIM features. With new AIM version 4.0 i can now do more things then...

Pros: cost (free), reliability, ease-of-use, large userbase
Cons: User interface redesign worsened the interface
