Skype addition would also be a nice addition as well. As far as privacy that would be another topic. :) Good article i really like the idea of combining these 2 technologies.

Gives would-be litigators another avenue to identify you. But then again not all the file-sharing going on is being targeted by the courts. I think it'd be an interesting development if there were a way to reconcile it with the privacy issues. Then again lots of AIM screen names are registered with bogus data anyway so the privacy risk might not be as big as imagined.

AIMSter was about turning AIM into a file-sharing platform. That idea was doomed from the start if you really think about it. I'm talking about adding AIM chat capabilities to decentralized file-sharing applications. Not exactly. AIMSter was about turning AIM into a file-sharing platform.

I loved that program. However it didn't just search people that were on your buddy list. Later on you could search the whole network for files. Then they got in trouble and sued by AOL because of the "AIM" in "Aimster" They then switched the name to Madster. But then shortly after all the publicity the RIAA went after them and they got shut down. But Aimster/Madster were the best programs ever!! I don’t know about you guys but Aimster was awesome!
