(the mash)AIM also plans to soon add a feature called “AIM Profiles,” which will include social networking features and the ability to share photos. Other new features include an enhanced text messaging mode, the ability to keep “notes” on each of your buddies, and AOL launching its own short code to allow users to perform IM functions over SMS.
One has to wonder when there are finally just going to be too many social networking systems. Will we finally reach a time where we have to go to work an hour earlier each day just to check all of our social accounts? Sure, you can opt to pass on setting one up, but if you’re anything like me, there is always that ONE person in your life who insists you must be on MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, or whatever the hot network of the moment is.
Like I said, you could always choose to bypass one, or any, of the networks, but since we’re all using AIM already, we might as well have the AIM Profile while we’re at it… and MySpace… and Facebook… oh fine, we’ll just have them all, and work on setting them all up and maintaining them!
