Sometimes I really miss AIM. I used to leave away messages all the time and so did all my friends. Update people with what you're doing or put song lyrics in the away messages...I'm just not going to do that on Slack.

Hosts Kelly Corey and Karin Thorne chat about their experiences with various social media accounts over the years. They also share the results of a recent listener poll and reminisce fondly about AIM.
