Communication Tools--AOL Instant Messenger
AOL AIM Express
If you want/need to use AIM to communicate but are unable or simply don't like downloading client software, AIM Express might be just what you need. Accessing this page and selecting "Start" will open a Java based AIM client. After you login to the system your "buddy list" will appear. Btw, if you're not an AOL user and still want to use AIM you can by setting up a free AIM account.
See Also: Don't have someone to chat with? Send a "hello" message to "SmarterChild". This is agent software that you can query with questions and have answers instant messaged back to you. Basic reference tools, news, weather, and more. These links can provide you with more info about SmarterChild and it's "parent", ActiveBuddy. I bet this technology has some use in the virtual reference world.
