AIM Share Launches - Bookmarking Meets IM

AOL launched a neat service for AIM users today: AIM Share allows you to share a URL or message with all your buddies at once by entering it on the site. The message appears in the Buddy Updates section of their IM client (presumably they need to be using AIM 6.0, and those using Trillian or Meebo won't get the message). Better still, there's a browser bookmarklet that lets you submit the page you're viewing, similar to those on del.icio.us or Digg. You'll need to sign in to AIM to use the service, of course. It's also worth mentioning that Facebook's bookmarking service is called Share, too.

The service is part of AIM's Buddy Updates system, which lets your buddies subscribe to your AIM feed in the AIM client, AIM Pages or any RSS reader and receive updates when you submit content to sites of your choice. These include Blogger, Webshots, MySpace, YouTube, Xanga and more, as I mentioned when AIM 6.0 launched.
