Twenty years after launching as a download for Microsoft Windows computers in 1997, AOL Instant Messenger will be officially discontinued from December 15, 2017. AOL parent company Oath announced the end of AIM in a blog post earlier this morning, celebrating with a nostalgic recollection of how big the messaging platform was in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Many an online hookups in the mid 90's. Would have AOL Yahoo and MSN IM up while working/studying. Early intra-webz dayz.

RIP OG IMs

I would use an app called Trillian that provided connections to all the major chat services in one program
