A bit of blurb on AIM…

Known by AOL Messenger uses as ‘buddy icons’, there are heaps of aim icons including SuperBuddy cute icons and WeeMee icons. Aim 6.O is the latest version of AOL Instant Messenger. Aim icons are smaller in size than MSN icons as they’re 48x48 pixels in dimension whereas MSN icons are 96x96 pixels per icon. The aim icon collection is huge and you can change the expression of your aim icon to make it more funny. I chose a tiger aim buddy icon and gave it an embarrassed expression. It turned into a really cute icon. You can customise your aim buddy icon on the aim website. You just need an aim messenger account to get started. It’s really simple to create and then you can start designing an aim buddy icon. There are lots more free aim icons on aim messenger than there are free msn display pics within the MSN Messenger client.
