If you use Miranda and have been wondering why you haven't been receiving messages from your AIM contacts (or maybe you haven't been wondering because you didn't notice), it's because AOL changed the protocol. You need to update Miranda. If you're using a development build, you'll need to grab the AIM plugin from the 0.6.3 release.
For some reason I had to go digging to find this out. It's not mentioned on the front page of Miranda's website, which just has a generic "Miranda IM v0.6.3 Released" blurb that doesn't mention the AIM fix unless you click through. Argh.
If you've been sending me messages on AIM recently and have been wondering why I've been ignoring you, this is why.

yay for Miranda!
Thanks for reminding me of Miranda with this post. I had tried it before a while ago, but now it is looking much better. I like.
trillian too
Haven't seen any of my AIM contacts on Trillian in a while, maybe it's time to check for an update. Anyone whose used both have any comments on their likes/dislikes of either? How does Miranda compare?
Re: trillian too
Trillian is bloated, buggy, relatively hard to extend, and costs money. Miranda is lightweight, reliable, has thousands and thousands of high-quality plugins, and is free. That's about the gist of it.

And now, I'd like to use WebSite-Watcher to monitor the AIM plugin for changes, except there is none to monitor! Why is the AIM protocol plugin not listed anywhere on the Miranda IM site, even where you'd expect it to be?
