]]> Comment on Will SMS go the way of the Dodo Bird? by RR http://www.gregsmind.com/2008/07/03/will-sms-go-the-way-of-the-dodo-bird/#comment-2106 RR Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:55:05 +0000 http://www.gregsmind.com/?p=96#comment-2106 I'm not entirely convinced Apple's solution to apps running in the background is gonna work...here's hoping. Also, I hope the new AIM client for iPhone supports picture sharing. Agile Messenger does it although a slightly different way as it uploads the photo to a site where the recipient must click a link to view it. Even if AIM did this I wouldn't mind...it would also be kind of neat to have an online storage area for my photos this way (assuming the photos were stored on AIM photos or in XDrive or something).

]]> Comment on AIM Blast…A new way to Communicate by Matthew Goldstein http://www.gregsmind.com/2008/06/26/aim-blasta-new-way-to-communicate/#comment-2064 Matthew Goldstein Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:12:09 +0000 http://www.gregsmind.com/?p=93#comment-2064 It's great to see this sort of feature in AIM! One major request: For invitations, could there be an option for the blast group to be self-invite? I can imagine wanting some to be completely open and others to require a group member to approve, but anything that allows people to join themselves would be great. (It would be a lot easier to put the group's name on a board in the lunch room for people to sign up for than to try having everybody contact me and ask to add them) Sadly, my client seems to want to send messages to "\[groupname\]" instead of just "[groupname]" but hopefully they'll fix that. Keep up the great work! It’s great to see this sort of feature in AIM!
