Free New AIM Plug-In Sends IMs that Self-Destruct
ATHENS, GREECE -- A company called BigString Corporation today rolled out a new plug-in for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) that lets you send messages that self-destruct and are impossible to copy or capture, according to the company. Users can also send IMs from the company's web site without using AIM.
Called BigString IM, the free but advertiser-supported service enables the sending of messages that leave no trail or copy on Internet servers. The sender can choose how long after sending the message self-destructs -- "Mission Impossible" fans will no doubt favor the "five seconds" setting. Users can also choose visual effects to add drama to the self-destruction.
