http://www.blogcdn.com/www.downloadsquad.com/media/2009/09/aimlifestreamupdate.jpgAOL has been experimenting with Twitter and Facebook integration in AOL Instant Messenger for a while now, letting you read your updates from those services, along with other feeds, from the AIM client. In the latest beta version, integration is going a step further, allowing posting from AIM to Facebook or Twitter. The big jump from read-only to read/write is just the latest in a bunch update to AIM’s social networking features. It’s all part of AIM Lifestream, and you can add your accounts at AOL’s Lifestream page.
A long time ago, Twitter used to support updates via IM, but that’s fallen by the wayside and is no longer a priority, so it’s good to see the idea being picked back up from AIM’s end. AIM Lifestream has quietly added a bunch of other features this summer, too: you can now see whose buddy lists you’re on, share your Diggs and Flickr photos, and sign up to receive Lifestream updates via SMS.
