We’ve reached the end of a long (and somewhat forgotten) era ~ The AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) Era. Twenty years later, the creators of the social network that started it all, will be saying farewell to AIM on December 15>span class="contextualExtensionHighlight ms-font-color-themePrimary ms-border-color-themePrimary ident_1704_1824" tabindex="0" role="button">. As AIM, posts its final message, let’s raise a glass to a time before direct messages, emojis and bitmojis existed. As a tribute to the iconic leader in online communication, we are sharing a few cocktail recipes. Enjoy!
