AOL adds file sharing to ICQ



News.com report: “America Online has released a new version of its ICQ instant messenger, its first facelift of the service in a year. The ICQ 2001b Beta v5.15, released Tuesday, offers a new file-sharing function that enables people to swap directories with their ICQ buddies, a two-way messaging feature with cell phones, multilingual support, a spell checker…” It goes on and on, but the bottom line is, AOL supports file-sharing. Which means Time-Warner supports file sharing. And TW is part of… the RIAA. (breathes sigh of relief)
