aim:goim? ~~~ How does this work?
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2004 6:47 pm
Throughout the post there are links to IM people. (AOL, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ) The MSN link gives the username, the yahoo opens an applet to chat but the aol uses the following link which opens AIM
At first glance this appears to be analogous to the mailto:email@test.com
How is this done? Is this something Aol installs when you install AIM? How is it even possible that aol is doing something smarter then others....? (Sorry had to insert the AOL slam)
Anyway, just curious....
Code: Select all
