AIM hyperlinks

Link directly to an AIM window

Often, to post your contact information you give your AIM screen name so people can better contact you. Is there a way that they can just click on your screen name and it will automatically open up a new IM window? YES!

<a href="aim:goim?screenname=USERNAME&message=This+is+what+I+want+to+say">Get in touch with me on AIM!</a>

It is that easy, just make sure you use + to indicate spaces, in both the username and the message field. Of course, if you don’t want to send a message then you can just remove that part of the hyperlink.
