I didn't realize AOL was still around... I didn't realize AIM was owned by AOL... I didn't have an AIM account so this won't affect me, but weird to see technology from over a dozen years ago still around and then suddenly getting shut down. I guess it'd be like if I saw people still using ICQ or MSN Messenger. And yet they do.
AIM stands for AOL Instant Messenger. ICQ was changed to run on AIM ages ago IIRC? So Is ICQ going away too?
