Average AIM User Intelligence

[stickycarrots]

Quick question for you all...

Do you think your average AIM user knows how to save their buddylist? Do you know how to save your buddylist? Would you be able to find it and upload it if needed?

AIM is ghey... I don't even know how to add a 'buddy'. xD

 

[stickycarrots]

AIM = totally sweet

Not sure what you're talking about

I think most people don't know how, because they never had to do it
I don't see a reason to save a buddy list because it's already kept on the AIM servers.

Well, the reason I was wondering is because I've made a feature for AIM Checker that allows you to upload your buddylist and it adds all the buddies found online to our database.

This helps build the "Related Screennames" feature added to the search

Actually thats a good idea and people WOULD learn how to to do it and want to. Or simple under the filepath box or something add Dont't know how? Click here

That's just the "BETA" version of the upload. Once I get the new layout done it'll be a lot easier and there will be a lot of features added. For example, searching only within your own buddylist

Lots of stuff going on at AIMChecker.com (shameless plug). I'll hopefully have room to do some promotion for WickedFire on there with our Signature Bar

The great thing is, is that this is greatly adapatable consider AIM users can use aim: in the url bar or for button commands.

yes I know how. Do most people, doubt it. Do most people know they can? Even more doubt.

Psshh. Go be negative somewhere else. This is a great idea that can evolve.
