AOL Integrates Facebook Chat Into AIM

Yesterday evening Facebook and AOL announced a new partnership which involves the integration of Facebook Chat “into AIM, AOL’s instant messaging platform, and its new Lifestream feature”, according to Scott Harris of Mercury News. The announcement came on the same day that Google announced their new Buzz product which was aimed squarely at Facebook, integrating many of the company’s existing features.

The new product which is now accessible, is a relatively simple integration, however it highlights how Facebook is trying to take away some of the “buzz” from Google’s new product launch.
