Pros: … Cons: …
Is e-mail too slow for you? There is a quicker alternative known as instant messengers. The three big programs are AOL IM, ICQ and Yahoo! Messenger. The one I’m reviewing here is AOL IM. The principle is simple: You download a program, in this case ...

Pros: a fantastic chat client; everyone uses it; great tool to keep up with friends Cons: can't integrate w/other chat clients; once in awhile the server goes down
Alright, alright, so my title might be a bit severe. But after having used AOL Instant Messanger since its inception several years ago, I have come to rely on it as much as I rely on email. It is an incredibly useful communication tool.

Pros: a good way to keep in touch, and lots of fun. Cons: Addicting and time consuming!
I admit it--I'm an instant messenger junkie. I spend a few hours each day at my computer chatting with friends and strangers. I use AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) and Yahoo! messenger. There are particular advantages to each. I really got hooked on AIM last...

Pros: Nice features, and lots of them! Cons: Lots of immature people, a poor warning system
I've had AIM for a couple years now. It has provided me with a consistant quality I still find surprising considering it's a product of AOL. (Compared at my current ISP, AOL was lacking big time. Judging from what I hear it still does. But my friends,...

Pros: Great Features, free, easy, much better than AOL... I could go on forever. Cons: none
I had always been an AOL user for about three to four years. I never liked AOL but it was the easiest way to talk with all my friends without using the phone. I used a 56k modem back then and it took two or three tries before I could actually log in....

Pros: everything Cons: does not work with all ISP's
I have Netscape, and Instant Messenger (IM) works great. You don't have to have AOL to use it. I don't have AOL, it is long distance for me, so I have never been able to communicate on line with my buddies. Now that it is available, I don't know what I...

Pros: cute Cons: lacking an invisible function
I have AOL Instant Messenger on my computer and I use it at times. I first downloaded it over a year and a half ago because my ex boyfriend raved how wonderful it was. I tried to get him to download ICQ, but he swears by this AOL product. I thought...

Pros: Free/Easy to Use/New Version allows you to send pictures Cons: None
I'm not a user of AOL, but I have to say I love AOL's Instant Messenger program. I downloaded it about three years ago and have never bothered to try any other chat programs because I have been so pleased with this one. I would have to estimate that this...

Pros: Same idea as AOL's chat, only more privacy and features out the wazoo! Cons: Sometimes availability is limited.
Prologue
We've all heard it before, especially if we are an AOL veteran. The instant message pops up, and there he is...25/m/CA with pic. Looking for love my sweet, or just to talk dirty? Mostly these comments are made to women, although...

Pros: ease of use, features Cons: searching capabilities are inferior to that of AOL
When I first heard about AOL instant messenger, I thought it was a strange and pointless idea. I had AOL at the time and I couldn't imagine why anyone who didn't already have AOL, would want to use their chatting program. Well here we are, many years...
