Dulles, Va. - AOL (NYSE: TWX) has announced the launch of Open AIM 2.0, a new incarnation allowing developers greater access to its AIM instant messaging network and giving them freedom to integrate the technology into their websites. Web-based messaging providers meebo and eBuddy were the first to sign on to the new program. It also will give participants a way to generate income through AIM Money, a new advertising revenue sharing platform expected to debut in April. Since launching its original Open AIM program in 2006, AOL said that more than 235,000 third-party developers have signed on to create everything from plug-ins that allow users to send money, to bots that send users notifications when their friends post new pictures and videos.
