Comments on: AOL launches corporate IM beta

Test version of AIM Pro service targets working professionals, small work groups and businesses.

What about AOL 10?

3 years since AOL 9 and not even a beta in sight. Sad.

The question is: Do you trust AOL?

OK, show of hands. Who trusts AOL, or any company for that
matter, with your company secrets? IMO, any communications
running on someone else's servers is subject to monitoring.

When my company decided to start using IM, we set up our own
SSL encrypted Jabber servers. (Jabber is a protocol used by Google
Talk, iChat, etc.)

Commercial versions are available, but we chose to go open source.

Isn't this AIM Pro service several years too late? What took so
long?
