AOL offers IM to Web sites By Frank Barnako, CBS.MarketWatch.com AOL Time Warner (AOL: news, chart, profile) will expand the use of its
Instant Messenger service by making access available from consumer Web
sites. PresenceWorks Inc., an Alexandria, Va. Company, said it has an
agreement with AOL to enable sites to embed AOL's Buddy List in their
pages, so IM users can see who among their contacts is available for messaging.
The AIM service reportedly has 140 million registered users. Affinity
Web sites and Web directories are considered likely users of the technology.
"Web sites can display presence information along side other contact
data for each person listed, enabling viewers to see whether a person
is available and to instantly chat with them," said Matt Smith, PresenceWorks
founder.
