AOL Instant Messenger was sort of like the grandfather of Twitter. Remember when you updated your AIM status with what you were up to, or with emo song lyrics to let your friends know how you were feeling? Now AIM is trying to get back in the game with AIM Lifestream, a new application (for Web or iPhone) that allows users to simultaneously view updates from their friends on AIM, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Digg and YouTube. It should be interesting to see if AOL can regain its former toehold on the Web through this and other new strategies.
