Gaia Instant Messaging (GIM) powered by AOL?s AIM service lauched two days ago. GIM will provide a new interactive experience for Gaia members to connect with each other. Gaia developed GIM using the freely-available APIs provided by AOL?s Open AIM program, which enables developers to easily integrate AIM functionality into their websites and applications. No download is required to use GIM and the application appears in a separate web browser.
