How to Put AIM Contacts on Pidgin
Chatting with friends and family online has become increasingly easier to do. Unfortunately, there are many different chat programs available and not everyone wants to use the same one. That leaves us the choice of running several different programs at once or downloading a program such as Pidgin which allows the use of several various chat clients, including AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), and ties them all into one.
