AOL Instant Messenger

Pros: easy to use, away messages
Cons: none

When I first set my computer up when I returned back from Thanksgiving break during my freshman year of college, one of the first gadgets my friend installed for me was AOL Instant Messenger.

I like AIM because it allows me to keep in touch...

Pros: can have multiple screen names, great to communicate with other people
Cons: voice chat isn't the greatest

I can easily say this is about the best thing about my little computer. My dad put AIM on my computer when I went to college so that I could keep in touch with my family. It is great...my dad keeps his AIM on while he is at work so that I can contact him...

Pros: CONNECTING to the world
Cons: Replace voice communication somewhat.

AIM and AOL have connected people throughout the world with their Instant Messaging system. The system is Easy, Fun and, totally Free. When you down load AIM off the Internet at www.aol.com it is extremely easy to get started. The most important part of...

Pros: Everyone and their mother has AOL, ease of use, away messages
Cons: warnings

As a poor struggling college student, I don't have the resources to pay for an internet provider. Through Juno (which I have reviewed), I use AOL Instant Messenger to chat with friends that are more than 300 miles away.

When AIM was first...

Pros: easy to use, fun, sufficient, practical, everything you need to enjoy the Internet!
Cons: the TALK function is a bit too hyped up

Even though AIM has already been commented on about 513 times, I am a big enough fan of this amazingly popular little program that I feel obligated to put in my 2 cents worth in further support of this keen utility.

As an ex-AOL user who was...

Pros: No immediate errors noticeable, AOL users can now check their email automatically
Cons: Not much change, and not necessary to download

America Online (or AOHell, as I call it - see my review on that), has just released their newest beta test program (AIM95 Beta v 3.5) as of 1 March, 2000. This release is not an extravagant one, nor can I claim that it has a host of exciting features. I...

Pros: Awesome download that lets you chat one on one online
Cons: Umm.......nothing

AIM 4.0 is one of the best free downloads online today, and surprisingly enough it is brought to us by the most hated Internet Service Provider on the face of the earth! Well anyway, AIM lets you send someone else who is online a message where it will...

Pros: Instant, Great Features, Buddies stored on server
Cons: Ads, Limited Buddies

I am really not in to AOL-related stuff, but this is just a must-have.

I am sure you have heard rumors that AOL is bad, sucks, and etc. I must admit the connection on AOL is quite bad. However, AOL does provide useful features for other...

Pros: all stated
Cons: all stated

Having AIM is like having AOL for free. Most people get AOL just because they want Instant Message and chats. With AIM you get all that and a bag of potato chips (Not really but you do get some other nifty stuff)

The Goods
...

Pros: Easy to use, lots of people use it
Cons: No true invisible mode

Yes, of all the instant messengers out there, I think the best one to have is AOL Instant Messenger. Now, this may not be the most efficent one to use, or the most friendly, but I do feel that this is the best messenger service money won't buy.

...

Pros: Really Good
Cons: It's from aol

What first came to mind before downloading this product is, "It's AOL... should I go with my arc nemesis?" ;) but after downloading it , and using it for about a year and a half, I feel it was well worth the download. I know there are people...

Aol instant messenger is the best messenger to talk to people on the internet. There are a lot of messengers out there but I think that this one is the best out of all of them. It is a small file that works for any computer and any internet service. One...

Pros: Everyone has it, easy to use, truly "instant"
Cons: to good to be free, lets see how long that lasts

Everywhere I go, I meet someone who has AOL or AOL IM. These days I think it is easier to get in touch with someone using my computer than the regular old phone! AOL IM is a free program that is easy to use and truly makes the world a smaller place. A...
