AOL Instant Messenger, or AIM as it is commonly referred to, is one of the most popular pieces of software on the Internet. Many people use it to stay in touch because it is a free piece software. You can use it to talk to your friends far away or close to home for no cost to you (unless your ISP charges per time online). It can also be used to communicate with AOL users through instant messages. If you are considering getting an AOL account just to send instant messages to your AOL using friends, you might want to look at AIM first. The first step to getting AIM is registering for the service.
