Add to the instant messaging craze the fact that all wireless devices such as laptops, handheld devices and even cell phones have instant messaging capabilities.Not only has instant messaging become convenient and fun, but it is a vital means of communication for some.It is natural them that to those who put such high value in instant messaging, that there should be a way to personalize their experience even more.After all, how much more impersonal is a computer than a phone?So what AIM has done is created icons.
