AIM

AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) was an instant messenger created by America Online (AOL), which used various protocols to allow registered users to contact in real time. It was launched on May of 1997.
AIM was pretty popular during the late 90s and 00s, however, its use declined over the years, and was finally discontinued on December 15, 2017, as a result of the Verizon purchase of AOL.

Back then, users could link to their AIM accounts on their profiles, so other users could add them as a friend or chat with them. They were also buttons for sending Flash submissions to AIM friends. These options have been since deleted, on 2018 and 2007 respectively, due to the re-designs of both years.
