AIM 2.2.439

AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) is a downloadable file that offers a revamped version of the messenger client for Mac users. While it may not offer any groundbreaking features, it does provide a unique emphasis on customization and expandability.

One notable feature of AIM is its ability to configure different sounds for each buddy when they come online or contact you. This allows for a personalized and interactive messaging experience. Additionally, AIM offers a wide range of plug-ins, including games, stock updates, and weather forecasts, which can be easily added to enhance your messenger client.

Standard features such as video chats, phone calls, and AOL email integration are also included in AIM. However, it is important to note that while the service is free, users are required to sign up for an AOL account. Text messages are available at an additional cost and currently limited to the US.

AIM allows users to further customize their experience by editing their buddy icon and assigning a unique sound for when they sign on. This adds a personal touch to the messaging interface.

Overall, AIM can be a good option for those who enjoy customizing their messenger client with sounds. However, if you are not an AOL mail user, there are alternative options available, such as Adium, that may better suit your needs.
