Like when your boss is at your desk, staring at a report on your monitor and a filthy IM from your friend pops up on the screen. Or, um, so we hear…
According to the PR wonks: “AOL is also kicking off the 10th anniversary of the Buddy List feature, a significant product innovation that revolutionized instant messaging and real-time communications, and helped people organize their online community networks.”
The AOL Buddy List, right behind fire, the Gutenberg press and sliced bread.
Anyhoo, if you’ve got nothing better to do, head over to the Buddy List Birthday Page, where you can watch a somewhat annoying video, download the AIM Evolution Timeline or “Got a fun, quirky or magical AIM story to share? Send it to us at buddybirthday@aim.com.” Again, we’ve got a bunch of AIM stories, but none that seem to fit their bill.
