The new feature lets you share a 24-hour status with your friends that can be up to 60 characters long and contain text and emojis. HITC - Instagram just launched a feature called Notes and it’s reminding everyone of AIM Away Messages. Until this week, when out of nowhere, Instagram brought back the away message. I always thought iMessage should bring it back, but they never implemented it. The Away Message was so unique, so special, that it didn't seem like it would ever be replicated. Honestly, 90% of AIM was just emo song lyrics.īut after AIM sadly sailed into the sunset, we were lost and broken. The Away Message was was people got their jokes off, had a quick personal life update, vented about how mean their mom was being, or again…an emo song lyric. Bring the heat or don't bother putting one up at all. Sure there were the hipsters who thought they were too cool for school and would put up the basic "I am away from my computer right now" but I always thought that was lame. A good Away Message separated the boys from the men. If this doesn't bring back memories, she too young for you bro:īut the creme de la creme of AIM was the Away Message. You and your friends could team up on someone and click that lightning bolt symbol and just get them booted off AIM for no reason. Lol, actually just thinking about that is hilarious. There's so many little things about it people forget- buddy icons, SmarterChild, getting into "warn" battles. Honestly, I could type about AIM forever. I mean I guess it's sorta no different than modern day dating, but at least when you fuck it up now with a 2am "wyd?" text you don't have to see them the next morning in home room. "Do I IM her first? Do I wait to see if she IMs me? Ok It's been 7 minutes, what if she gtg and now she thinks I'm ignoring her? But what if she's ignoring me?". Being 16 and having no idea what to do, woo boy. Shit, even to this day, no feeling, not even seeing the 3 dots, can replicate the feeling of your crush "SoccerBabe1297" log on. It was the biggest "butterfly in your stomach" feeling a boy could have. We've got dozens of fun flairs to choose from.And of course you would sit there anxiously, waiting to hear that door opening sound, meaning your crush just signed onto AIM.So grab your Pogs, Surge cans and Thriller cassettes, and we'll see you in /r/nostalgia! times we shared with loved ones, both humorous and sad. Here we can take pleasure in reminiscing about the good ol' days. Whether it's an old commercial or a book from your past, it belongs in /r/nostalgia.
