Umthunywa okhawulezileyo we-AOL (AIM) wagqibela ngokuthatha umhlala-phantsi ngolwe-Sihlanu, nge-15 kaDisemba. Inkonzo yomthunywa wangoko nangoko, i-harbinger ye-intanethi-eza-kuza, I-AIM yayiyintshayelelo yokuqala kwiwebhu yewebhu yasendle kwabo bethu bakhuleyo. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-90 kunye neye-2000.
I-AIM ekuqaleni yayiyinxalenye yomthengi we-AOL yedesktop, kodwa yacima ngokwenyani isakuba sisixhobo esahlukileyo, esinokukhutshelwa sodwa, ngo-1997. Nangona namhlanje kukho uthotho lwee -apps zemiyalezo, ukusuka kwi-WeChat ukuya ku-WhatsApp ukuya kwi-Snapchat, i-AIM kanye kanye ligama kuphela kumdlalo. Kwaye ngokungafaniyo neenkonzo ezilinganayo ezikhoyo namhlanje, ezinje nge-Twitter okanye i-Facebook, kwakulula kakhulu ukuthintela abantu ongabaziyo kunye nabantu ongabathandiyo. (Nangona oku kungatsho ukuba ukuxhatshazwa kwe-intanethi akuzange kwenzeke.)
Siyazi ukuba baninzi abalandeli abathembekileyo abasebenzisa i-AIM amashumi eminyaka; kwaye sithanda ukusebenza kunye nokwakha i-app yokuqala yencoko yohlobo lwayo ukusukela ngo-1997, utshilo u-AOL kwisibhengezo sakhe sokuthatha umhlala-phantsi.
Ukuphela kwe-AIM kufuna ukubhiyozelwa kweempawu zayo ezizodwa, ze-idiosyncratic, kunye nendlela abaphembelele ngayo iwebhu njengoko siyazi namhlanje. Njengoko uDavid Pierce e Intambo ubhale kwisikhumbuzo sakhe se-AIM, iapps ibimele umzuzu xa wonke umntu esebenzisa i-app efanayo yemiyalezo, xa isinika yonke into esiyifunayo, kwaye xa ungene kwi-intanethi yayilixesha lokonwaba endaweni yokuqinisa.
Ke, ngaphandle kokuqhubeka:

- Wawuyintoni umbala ongasemva owuthandayo? (Luhlaza!)
- * ~ *, * ~ * ~ *, okanye xx?
- Yayiyintoni isifinyezo osithandayo se-chatspeak? (Eyam yayiyi-POS, okanye umzali egxalabeni, kuba ngelinye ixesha umama wayibona wathi, Linda, ngubani isiqwenga somntu?)
- Yeyiphi into oyithandayo yokusebenzisana kwe-AIM? (Eyam yayiqala ukuncokola kwaye yabelana ngezixhumanisi ezingenangqondo kunye nabo bonke abazala bam, endihlala ndibona kuphela ngehlobo)
- Leliphi elona gama libalaseleyo le-AOL okhe walibona? Yintoni eyona imbi kakhulu? (Kunokubakho ukungqubana phakathi
