Authored by Mark Hefflinger on February 6, 2004 - 10:17am.
Cupertino, Calif.. -- Nearly six months after receiving federal approval, America Online on Thursday said that it will begin offering live video chat throughout its instant messaging service. The service is fully compatible to Apple's iChat video conferencing technology, expanding on a 2-year-old instant messaging partnership between the two companies. For the first time, it will allow users to conduct live video instant messaging conversations. Other new features allow users to invite "buddies" to play online games through their IM connection and to link up and manage multiple screen names from the same session. AOL said that its AIM service is used by more than 50 million people each month.
