AOL to Replace AIM with Triton

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday April 26, 2005 @07:56AM from the millions-of-chatty-teens-grow-silent dept.

An anonymous reader writes "BetaNews is reporting that AOL has begun beta testing a replacement for its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) software. Triton has an entirely new user interface that adds highly anticipated features including tabbed messaging and logging. The client will also be open to third party plug-ins." From the article: "It is no coincidence that AOL is fielding so many betas concurrently. AOL Browser, an Internet Explorer based Web browser; AOL Media Player, a standalone audio and video player; AOL search technologies and AOL's synchronization utilities are all part of what was once a unified communications client called Fanfare."

Well i do hope they have some security in mind with those plugins! In the local news a few nights ago it was said that someone turned a webcam on to a 16 year old girl on msn messenger. After he took some ensaulting pictures of her, he (was caught after all) was blackmaling the girl!
