A complete run-down on Instant Messenger.

AOL online services, quite frankly suck, but this instant messenger thing is awesome!! Instant Messenger is a service from AOL that allows you to talk to other people who have Instant Messenger. It...

Pros: Free, Private Chat, and many more
Cons: None

Let me just start out by saying... After using it for over four years, I am very pleased with AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) software, especially their latest version (4.7.2480).

For being a free service, the ads aren't bad, there are two. One...

Pros: chat to friends, easy to use
Cons: None

I chat in many different chat rooms and one of them is aim. This stands for aol instant messenger. You can chat to friends in a chat room or in a room with just your friends.

To download aim go to www.aol.com You do not have to be on aol to...

Pros: easy to use "no wonder it's number one"
Cons: get rid of em bots!

Don't feel like dialing numbers to talk to your girlfriend or boyfriend, well this is the software you need. All you have to do is go to www.aim.com, get a screenname and a password, and you are half done. Then all you have to do is download a quick...

Pros: Easy, fun communication.
Cons: Needs new features.

AOL Instant Messenger is an awesome form of communication. If you have the internet you can download it for free. The best thing about it is that you can talk to anyone anywhere and it's totally free. I have spent so many hours talking to friends and...

Pros: very easy to use,lets you communicate with people everywhere
Cons: none

This is a very good communications device to use over the internet. It allows you to talk to people all over the world and you don't get charged for those long distance phone calls or constantly having to buy phone cards. Some of the features include...

Pros: Everything else
Cons: "Punters", cluttered buddy list, hard to register user name

Well I noticed that all the reviews for AIM have been positive so far so I decided to put a different spin on this review - and show the negative side of Aim. I really had to nit-pick AIM for some of these but I figure somebody has to do a review which...

Pros: Free, become more popular than ever..
Cons: not compatible with other chatter software, and no video chat yet.

As you all know, aim is a free service. I begin to wonder why people still wants to get onto Aol at all? People like free stuff, especially free stuff that is popular. Almost 9/10 company workers are using AIM to slack off and talk to their friends or...

Pros: My mom loves it.
Cons: I hate it, it makes it far to easy for mental deficients to have access to me.

First off, let's get one thing straight: I hate AOL. I think AOL is the anti christ. I think AOL is the worst thing to happen to the American way of life. Well, maybe I'm going a BIT too far, but you get my drift here.

That said, let's...

Pros: fast. very nice. hardly any bugs.
Cons: aol made it. 'nuff said

AIM (AOL instant messenger) even in beta format, is one of the most cleanly written, most well-based programs out there.

It contains several new features, such as an EMail checker, a File transfer option, and a buddy list like none other.
...

Pros: A lot of my friends have it
Cons: Nothing I can think of at the moment

Well, this is my first Epinions review. I've chose AIM basically because... I'm actually talking to somebody on it right now. But anyways, now onto the review.

PROS
-Not hard to find friends to talk to. A lot of people have AOL to...

Pros: Seeing your Buddy List and knowing who is on and when
Cons: Not being able to d/l

I love being able to see when my friends are online and if I want to chat with them or they want to chat with me, its the easiest thing in the world to do.
I think AOL will have some exciting new additions for us now that they have acquired ICQ....

Pros: Instant. Easy to install, easy to use. Free.
Cons: Can't send messages to offline users. Disconnects when idle too long.

A friend of mine was moving away for college. She suggested that I get AIM. I balked. I have been using ICQ for a couple of years at that point, and liked it just fine.

She told me that it was better than ICQ and I begged to differ. How could...

Pros: fast IM interface, easy to find new friends or let them find you
Cons: IMs explode in your face, advertisers

I like AOL Instant Messenger. It has a few pros and cons which I will attempt to discuss here.

The Good Bits
The instant messages (henceforth referred to as "IMs") are faster and you can pump replies back and forth much...
