AOL Integrates Facebook Chat Into AIM

AOL Instant Messenger is integrating Facebook Connect to allow AIM users to chat with their Facebook friends. The image to the right shows how the initial sign up will look.

We expect AOL and Facebook to make an announcement on the product on Wednesday, but you can try it now if you like at x.aim.com/facebook/preview.html. That’s a beta version, no word on when it will move into normal production.
