AIM for Mac: AOL Chat Messenger for Mac
AIM for Mac is a completely revamped version of the America Online Instant Messenger client for Mac. While it offers some customization options and a variety of plug-ins, it doesn't bring anything particularly new to the table compared to other messaging clients. The highlight of AIM for Mac is its extensive sound customization, allowing users to assign unique sounds to each contact. Additionally, users can enhance their messaging experience by adding AIM Plug-ins, such as games, stock updates, and weather forecasts. However, AIM for Mac requires an AOL account and doesn't allow you to connect to other messaging accounts.
In terms of features, AIM for Mac includes video chats, phone calls, and AOL email integration. However, text messages are only available in the US and come at an additional cost. Users can personalize their profile by editing their buddy icon and assigning a unique sound for when they sign on. Overall, AIM for Mac may appeal to users who enjoy customizing their messaging experience with sounds. However, for those who don't use AOL mail, there are better alternatives like Adium available.
