iPhone Social Networking Apps

AIM

Now with Push Notifications, AIM connects you with your friends and family instantly. The new Lifestream feature lets you stay on top of what your AIM buddies are doing by allowing you to add a variety of accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. With AIM, you can follow your friends, post photos and status messages to stay connected in real time. With a great new look and feel, it's faster and lighter than ever.

Mobile AIM for iPhone and iPod touch was built from the ground up to take advantage of the iPhone and iPhone UI.

Features include:
•Access your Lifestream without leaving AIM.
•Post your photos to your Lifestream (up to 40 at one time) or comment on your Buddy’s photo or status.
•The new “Me” tab will give you a snapshot of what’s going on with your Lifestream – view your notifications, status updates or the number of Buddy Lists you’re on.
•Send and receive messages over WiFi, EDGE, or 3G networks*
•Connect to anyone on the AIM network worldwide, whether they're on AOL®, AIM, ICQ®, .Mac® or MobileMe.
•See who's available before you contact them.
•Configure multiple screen names and switch between identities any time.
•View expressions and update status.
•Send IMs and SMS text messages* - even from an iPod touch.
•View your Buddy List and IM conversations in Landscape Mode.
•Take pictures with the built-in camera to use as your Buddy icon.
•Share your location with your buddies and find out who's nearby with the Buddies Near Me smart buddy group.
•Manage your Buddy List®, choose Favorites, or add a new Buddy anytime. Your changes are automatically synced with AIM on Windows or Mac® .
•Access your Contacts directly from within AIM - send an IM to a screen name or an SMS to a phone number.

It's easy to get started. Just sign in using your existing AOL, AIM, .Mac or MobileMe name, or register for a free screen name right from your device.

Any service can send messages. But with AIM, you're really connected.
