A Look Back at the Beloved Messenger of the 2000s
The Heyday of Instant Messaging
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM) ruled the instant messaging scene. With its distinctive "You've got mail!" alert and animated buddy icons, AIM became the go-to platform for real-time communication, connecting friends, families, and coworkers around the world.
AIM's rise to popularity was meteoric. By 2000, it had amassed a staggering 61 million users. Its dominance in the instant messaging market continued throughout the mid-2000s, with AIM commanding over half of the total market share.
