Will AIM Compete With Facebook?

Yesterday, the Washington Post published an interesting article. It discussed many of the features in the new version of AIM that was released yesterday. It has a number of social networking features including user profiles, status updates and photo tagging. Additionally, there is an AIM developer API that was previously released. So with all of these great features, does it work as a substitute for Facebook?

Not yet! While I think there is the potential for a social networking desktop based application, I don’t think AIM is going to be the one to launch that product.
