Hey, what's all the growling about? After many requests from AOL users (and a bunch of employees), we've added Growl support to AIM for Mac 1.5 (Beta 3). 
We've also added the ability to see what your Buddies are doing on some of the most popular social networks and RSS feeds (Twitter, MySpace, Delicious, YouTube, Flickr, etc). To use the new AIM Buddy Updates feature (replacing Buddy Info), all you have to do is go to Buddy Update and add your accounts. Now when you update your favorite social network, your Buddies will see a new icon next to your Screen Name on their Buddy List.Posted Apr 15th 2009 3:35PM by Lee Givens

If you're a regular visitor to the Mac@AOL Blog, you will notice that the AOL Mac Team spends a great deal of time reviewing comments and requests from our users.

It's been a fast 2 years. Think about this, 2 years ago, most Mac-fans were looking forward to the iPhone, just announced at Macworld Expo 2007. On March 17th, Apple announced 17 million iPhones and 13 million iPod touches are in the hands of users around the world. This figure represents over 30 million devices that run Mac OS X. It's hard to believe, but the iPhone/iPod touch platform is nearly as big (or bigger!) than the Mac platform. It took Apple 25 years to have a current user base of over 25 million Macs (I'll have to get the newest numbers). Two years, 25,000 apps and 800 million downloads later, the iPhone is the SECOND largest computing platform, with Windows XP/Vista leading.Posted Mar 18th 2009 11:43AM by Lee Givens

One of the nice features of the Buddy List® is placing your buddies into groups for better organization. The default set of groups include AIM Bots, Buddies, Family, Co-Workers, Recent Buddies, and Offline. You can also create new groups to better categorize your buddies.Posted Feb 12th 2009 12:40PM by Lee Givens

1. How often do you start a video chat? How long do your sessions last?
2. Do you use A/V special effects in iChat?
3. Do you video chat with Windows Buddies?

If you live in the Washington, DC area, you know WTOP is the #1 news & traffic station and now, you can stay in touch with Presidential Inauguration news by listening to WTOP using AOL's SHOUTcast Radio for iPhone and iPod touch. The efficient stream will run over EDGE, 3G and WiFi (remember, AT&T iPhone customers can access FREE WiFi at any Starbucks and DC has a lot of Starbucks locations).Posted Jan 9th 2009 4:55PM by Lee Givens

Welcome to the Mac@AOL Blog. My name is Lee Givens and I'm the Product Lead for the Mac products at AOL. You can find the latest information on AOL's software development on the Mac and any cool happenings at AOL. The purpose of the blog is to create a feedback loop so we can hear from our loyal AOL Mac users. Managing a blog is a lot of work, so I enlisted support from the whole team...the Mac team is made up of dedicated Macintosh developers, QA engineers and Product folks.
