What iChat doesnt do, however, is merge the AIM and Facebook contacts as nicely as this.

Honestly, if youre on a Mac and you have an AIM account, youre most likely going to use iChat to take care of that.

It is integrated better with the OS, it operates perfectly fine and, yeah, it has video.

Sure, you can login to Facebook chat using iChats Jabber protocols, but it isnt nearly as pretty and you dont get AIMs jazzy new LifeStream deal which nicely integrates AIM status messages with the Facebook status messages.

AIM for Mac also makes use of AIM Expressions which, until now, only worked on the PC side.

Another thing that this software does is allow you to login to your ICQ account -- a beautiful feature considering that ICQ for Mac hasnt been updated in seven years.

Its not perfect, but it does make an entirely passable alternative ICQ client.

And Adium is universally loved by all Mac users, despite having the same shortcomings as this software (namely, lack of video).

Rather than complain about how it lacks videoconferencing and how its not iChat and how its made by AOL and is therefore terrible, lets give credit to AOL for even making the thing at all.

AOL could easily have thrown their hands up in the air and said, Eh, why bother.

They could have, in short, pulled an ICQ, who has no intention of supporting Mac in the future.

But they did bother to make something, and they released it and they continue to update it regularly.

AlvAmo 17 November 2011 Version: 2.2.439 Hello, i tried the application because a friend with a Windows PC, to do a video chat.

It work badly, and now, when i use iChat, every time i send a message to him, i get a message from AIM telling me that i had a new version of AIM, and my friend could record the conversation and read the faq (1) 0.5 Macguruguy 17 November 2011 Version: 2.2.439 I think AOL just shot themselves in the foot, in the middle of the dessert, and are now dying a slow death.

This app is terrible.

Andersh 26 February 2011 Version: 2.2.429 It is just getting uglier and uglier and looks more like a pc port than a mac app.
