AIM 5.5.3501 brings AOL’s IM offering up to par with rivals MSN and Yahoo!.
In addition to video messaging, AIM now permits screen name linking, which allows users to log in under multiple accounts concurrently within a single session.
AOL promised video over IM shortly after details on the upcoming AOL client upgrade, code-named Tahiti, emerged in October. Today’s build makes good on that promise, provided customers are running Microsoft’s Windows XP. The AIM Web site also makes note that performance is superior over a local area network or broadband connection.
