BuddyUpdates: Keep Up with your AIM Friends’ Status Updates

BuddyUpdates is a cool service from AOL which lets you stay up to date with your AIM buddies’ status updates in various other social networking sites like twitter, delicious, Facebook, MySpace and many other sites. It covers almost all the main social media sharing networks.

When you visit the website it allows you to download a plugin for your AIM messenger which further facilitates the process of checking your friends’ updates within your AIM chat window. The updates appear as alerts in your chat window and you can read them instantly or at a later time.

We have seen such features in multi-protocol IM clients like Pidgin and Digsby but this time it has been introduced by AOL itself and hence AIM fans need not rely on third party products or log on to other sharing sites again and again to check their friends updates.
