For those who use AOL Instant Messenger a great deal, this is an interesting utility. Aside from getting rid of the annoying ads on the normal AIM client, this one has some other nice features such as auto-logging, plus you can logon multiple ScreenNames at one time. And for people who routinely have multiple IM windows open simultaneously, you can use this to set up "tabbed" windows to keep different conversations more organized.

It still has the problem of being AIM-only, so for those people who use multiple services such as Yahoo and MSN, Trillian is probably still going to be a better choice. But just in terms of AIM clients, this one looks like it's one of the best around.
