“Arggggggggg” I typed to my friend, Lena. I wanted to talk to my other friend, Bridget, but she was on my buddy list under my other screen name. I actually needed to talk to both of them, but they were on different buddy lists, so now I didn't know what to do.
Then my friend Sharmeen suggested that I buddy link. Buddy linking is when you have more than one screen name, but use them both at the same time. The buddy lists under both of your screen names are actually combined. I can talk to a lot more people at one time, which is cool! So I decided to set up a buddy link.
This is what you do if you want to buddy link your screen names -
1. Under My AIM on your Buddy List menu, click Manage Linked Screen Names.
2. Click Link/Unlink Screen Names and follow the sign-in process.
3. Click Add a Screen Name, type your Screen Name as well as the password associated with it, and click the Save button.
4. Click Add a Screen Name to repeat the process, and link additional Screen Names.
5. When you are finished, close the window and sign off your AIM service. The next time you sign on, Screen Name linking will be activated.
Now I buddy link when I need to talk to more people at one time. Isn't that fun!
