After you sign into AIM, click the "Facebook Connect" button at the top of your buddy list to set up Facebook chat. When you are done your Facebook friends will be added to your buddy list. You can now chat with your friends who are using the Facebook site!
We hope you enjoy the new AIM as much as we do. AIM with Facebook chat gives you a whole lot more to talk about!

1. Stop playing with social features until the features that have been missing from Mac's AIM for years have been implemented!

2. I like the new features. I've been enjoy the changes to AIM on mac for a while and have been using it instead of iChat for over a year. Please keep it up.

3. The new features are nice, and they're definitely adding value to keeping AOL accounts around.
But, I have to agree with Charles. We need a full featured AIM client. I understand you guys worked from scratch, and are building a new codebase, but personally speaking, I use my AIM screenname to communicate with many, many people. It would be IMMENSELY helpful to have a 'classic style' AIM client that gave me all the features I'm accustomed to using.
