AIM Blast: Group Messaging for AOL Instant Messenger
I don't think you or I need to look at any official statistics to come to the conclusion that AOL Instant Messenger has been on a bit of a slope for the past few years.

With MSN (or Windows Live Messenger) being recently laid to rest and Skype not offering a protocol for us all to connect through, it's safe to say that all-purpose messengers like Pidgin are slowly falling out of favor. Nevertheless, it's still my all-time favorite and - although it's ancient - I am still a firm believer in AIM as a messenger. I still use it and many of my friends still use it.
