AOL releases beta of new AIM, "Triton"

AOL has released a beta of the new version of AIM, codenamed "Triton." The new version features an improved away message interface, an integrated video player, and video editing features (?) for video chat. AOL is also considering adding calling and recieving calls from ordinary telephones to its VoIP offering, either for free or for a small fee. What's more AOL will be starting a developer in August to allow anybody to create plugins and extensions for AIM.

And yes, it still has ads.
