It makes me feel old.

AIM needs to make a comeback! FB chat is so terrible.

I don't think I've used AIM since about 2006.  I've never used FB chat, however.

I remember refusing to use FB chat. That didn't last as long as I would have liked. Sad

No- I had to look up what it was. I never used AOL to surf, so I never came across it

I honestly don't even notice it, as I use a client that merges google/facebook/aim/yahoo/msn.

Facebook chat does suck, but everyone uses Google anyway.

my scores of AIM Logs 2003, 2006-2009 serve as a core of original sources for my tragic autobiographical tracts.

Yes, though I have hardly ever used it.  Just knowing I was among the first to get internet service via AOL dial-up in 1996 makes me feel ancient. 


Ya, I've never used it and don't know what, exactly, it is.
