it lets you log you IM’s and some other cool features. Trillian does everything that dead AIM does though

Trillian does eveything dead aim does PLUS more. AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC… plus it is fully skinable.

I use aimutation for logging and skinning purposes… it does have other features as well. I use it because I despise Trillian
