 AOL Instant Messenger
controls
Now you can chat with all of your AOL buddies and never leave Paltalk.
You don't even need AOL Messenger to be installed on your machine!
note: you need a previously existing account with AOL messenger
Paltalk allows you to add AOL buddies, and enter into
private chats with them, just as if they were logged into Paltalk. AOL buddies
will have the AOL 'running man' icon displayed to the left
of their names on your 'pal list'.
Paltalk / AOL interoperability is kept as safe and secure as possible. Paltalk only allows simple text messaging and never allows direct connections
between users. This helps to insure safe messaging between both Paltalk users,
and AOL users.
