Facebook Chat Comes to AOL's AIM Instant Message Service

Facebook Chat, the company’s instant messaging system, has already been live on other sites, like Meebo, for more than a year. But now it’s coming to the granddaddy of IM: AOL’s AIM. Starting now, you can log in to your AIM account — whether your use the Windows or Mac desktop clients or the web-based version — then log in to Facebook using Facebook Connect.

You’ll just need to click through a couple Connect permissions windows, then you’ll see your Facebook friends appearing within your AIM interface — sort of.
