‘Send me a message on AIM’ link

AOL instant messenger logo

Here’s the code:

<a href=”aim:goim?screename=username&message=hello”>Send me a message on AIM</a>

Replace username with your required AIM username and ‘hello’ with whatever message you wish to set for the user to send you. You can remove ‘hello’ altogether if you don’t wish to pre-set a message for a user to send you upon clicking the link.

    Jamie,

    Useful post, thanks.
    I’m collecting way of linking to all kinds of IM networks. But so far have only found how to link to Yahoo (‘a href=”http://edit.yahoo.com/config/send_webmesg?.target=YOURIDGOESHERE&.src=pg”‘) and to AOL.
    Do you know how to link to MSN or Gtalk from simple html?

    Thanks,

    Carlos
