Every once-in-a-while on the Mac@AOL blog, we offer new information for those who think API is not an airport in Columbia, Cocoa not a hot beverage, and garbage collection doesn't happen twice a week. I'm talking about developers. Today, AOL announced that the Open AIM initiative has been revved up to version 2.0. What do you get in the new version? The ability to leverage the one of the world's best instant messaging networks with millions of users and some great apps that run on that network (Apple iChat and AOL Desktop for Mac to name a couple).
Here's the description from the AOL Developer's Network:
Open AIM continues to lead the way with providing the most powerful and flexible platform to power your communication, collaboration, and social networking experiences. We're opening up even more to give you unprecedented access to the best of breed tools and services you need to make your applications a success, while providing you with instant access to the AIM community via the new AIM Gallery!
We've also redesigned our website to make it easier for you to find and use what you need. Take a look around, sign up for the Open AIM newsletter, and let us know what you think. And scroll down for more details on what's new with Open AIM!
If you think you have the skillz (yes, I used a 'z' at the end :), you can enter the TopCoder contest and have a chance to win some serious prizes!
See you soon!

About The Team
Welcome to the Mac@AOL Blog. My name is Lee Givens and I'm the Product Lead for the Mac and iPhone 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.
