I’m brand new to AIM. I’m not sure what to do or how to use it, or how to find friends…is that even possible? Do you have to just already know people that use it and add them? what are the perks of being an AIM user?
Thanks for the help~

March 15, 2005 at 1:47 am #112225MrEggsaladParticipantI will give you some help, First learn how to talk on it, find out Acronyms that you can use to talk more easily. You can warn the person you are talking to by clicking the Warn button, this limits the other person’s activity on AIM. The only way to find other users is to look on a site like this for the AIM guy in the fourms after people’s posts or go to love.com – but unless you are looking for love I would stay away from that. You can also go into chat rooms and find people there. It’s best if you can just add people that you already know because, most of the experienced users have run into some pretty strange people. I guess some of the pirks of using AIM are that it is the most popular, I guess that is really about it. Oh ya, you can also talk to people on ICQ. If you need anymore help then ask us on the fourms. Hope This Helps:)
(By the way, if you end up not liking AIM and still want to talk to your friends with the same Screen Name then get Trillian, that is what I use because I don’t like AIM) -
