Awww, the new AIM Express is 3 weeks old! It's unbelievable to think about how far the product has come through it's development and how we've really grown as a team. There is definitely more work ahead of us. We have a NEW BETA that we will use to refresh the current AIM Express and added a few things we took your advice on. So check it out now!
Text Messaging made simple: We've all been in a situation where a friend quickly signs off mid-conversation as you remembered an important detail to a story or where to meet for evening plans. If this happens now you have the ability to keep the conversation going and toggle between IM and Text Messaging (sending an SMS). Once you click the mobile icon & you can enter the mobile number into the dialog box (area code first) and save it to their screen name. Message will be sent straight to their mobile device!
Emoticon Pick-ah: Feel like blowing a kiss or sending a wink to a friend? You won't need to just rely on shortcodes to send an emoticon-use the picker found in the IM text field. We plan on adding to this gallery, what other ones would you like to see?

Invisibility : Now you see me...now you don't! If you want to hide from your friends and just browse your Buddy List we've added the ability to set your self as "invisible" from the state dropdown menu. Even if they try to IM you- you will appear offline.
Block & Unblock: We have listened to your feedback and many of you were asking for the ability to block buddies that message you. You can select "Block" either by right-clicking on a buddy or if you are in a conversation click the buddy options menu. We will make sure their IM's never reach your screen! If you be-friend this person again just find them in your offline group (denoted by the 'blocked' icon) right-click again and "Unblock" them.
Thanks again to our faithful users who have been helping us find interesting bugs & offering suggestions behind the scenes. Keep the ideas and comments coming!
