How do I instant message someone that has AOL?

How can you instant message someone on AOL if they have the msn installed but have hotmail not net.?

  • Answer:

    What a terribly confused question !? MSN Messenger (and "hotmail") is ONE program. Yahoo Messenger is another, separate one. AIM is anOTHER quite separate one. None of these various IM programs can talk to each other (thought there are tools like Trillian or Gaim that let you access all of them - AND YM and MSN will be interoperble later this year) So to IM someone who's on AIM, YOU must either also be on AIM, OR use one of the "multi-protocol" programs like http://www.trillian.cc (As a last resort you could also try THIS thing, but I'm not sure, it may be a bit complicated: http://www.aimonpsp.com/ )
