AOL has fired 40 employees in charge of AOL Instant Messenger’s development. Only basic maintenance and customer service staff will remain. AOL reassures that they “are not killing instant messenger.”But skeptics say the layoffs are the beginning of the end for AIM. If the service that gave life to LOL and BRB fades away, will anybody miss it?
RIP FieldHockeyGrl13
OMG
AIM still exists?!
RIP MysicGyrl loooooool
I used to RP on AOL. D:
Also…no one will miss it, although out of all the instant messengers it was the easiest and flexible to use. AOL just crashed a lot, but AIM was very useful. Only people who still use it are probably AOL RPers. xD
fuck aim
I didn’t sign on to my AIM for one week last month and they deleted my account for “not using it.”
yeah fuck you
RIP chrstofthemoment
you will be missed
noooooooooooooooo this is how Boyfriend and I communicate!
