So, lately my aim has not been working and it has been bothering me so much. Every time I go to sign on it says “connection lost.” I don’t know why it keeps saying that because my internet is working fine. I never realized how addicted to aim I am. I remember being younger and all my friends would get online together and we’d all talk for hours upon hours. It’s different now though because I just like to have an away message up. I hardly ever come back from away. So what is it about aim that we all like so much? Obviously it’s a very convenient way of communicating with people, but half the time we have away messages up and aren’t instant messaging. It’s also a good way to talk to friends that you haven’t talked to in a while. Everyone says that facebook is a way of stalking people but if you think about it, so is aim. With today’s updated version of aim you can look at people’s away messages from days and days ago. Aim and its features have improved so much since the first time I ever used it. Today, you can have your “eye” open or closed. When it’s open people know you’re on, and when it’s closed people don’t know you’re on. Sort of creepy if you think about it. You can also change the colors of your buddy list which is pretty cool. Since my aim wasn’t working I decided to uninstall it and download the newest version. This one is cool because along with aim itself, I downloaded aim tunes. With aim tunes you can listen to music and share music with other people. I think aim was a great invention. So many people have it and use it on a regular basis, it’s ridiculous.
