Looks like parent company AOL has been
testing out APIs that allow for embedding
AIM into websites. This new feature for developers will allow users to directly send and receive instant messages from websites. The API also allows for availability, and away messages to be set in the user's profile via the web. The new AIM Whimsicals widgets allows developers to integrate different services and added functionality for websites. There are currently 50,000 developers that have registered for the
Open AIM program already. Has anyone tried any of the Open AIM options yet? What are your thoughts?
