I created another AIM screen name so that people could contact me at a new screen name instead of one that I had tied to a company I no longer worked at. However, instead of using that screen name and giving it to new friends with an old company name attached. I decided to create a new one and transfer over all my old friends to my new screen name and let them know… but I thought “How can I transfer (or copy) my AIM buddy list to another screen name on AIM? So I asked a friend and he told me these simple instructions just incase you ever wanted to do the same thing.

Here is what you do…. In order to transfer buddy lists from one AIM account to another you simply save your buddy list. To do this you go to the buddy list menu and click save list. Once you’ve saved your AIM buddy list onto your computer you then sign in with the new SN and “Load Buddy list” located in the same menu as the save buddy list.

If you’ve always wanted to create a new AIM screen name then check out the AIM website and start today!

I’m always wonder about the different statistics when of comes to my twitter account. I often wonder where I rank among others who twit as well as how did they get there.

After reading a few great articles like Why Brands ABSOLUTELY DO Belong on Twitter and Do Brands Belong on Twitter? I recently started noticing a lot of big name companies that were using twitter as a source of social networking and brand recognition.
