AIM Vote ‘08 Plugin for AIM 6.8+

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I just wanted to highlight a new plugin that was recently added to the AIM Gallery. The AIM Vote ‘08 plugin lets you vote for Obama or McCain and then see who your buddies vote for. Your vote is only visible while you are online and you can change your mind at any time.

Here is a capture from the AIM Gallery Web page:

This plugin is all aces in my book; Best part is that I did not even write it but I know the man that did.

Just look at the face of your candidate when he is winning or losing. Well done “Tommy Gunn”!

Click here to go to the AIM Gallery site where you can download this plugin.

Enjoy and be sure to vote on November 4th.

Feedback and Galleries are a Good Thing

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

I added a built-in anonymous feedback mechanism to my RX-Plugin a couple of months ago. My goal was to increase the amount of feedback I get by making it easier for you to send it.

I can now report that this has been a great success. I am getting a lot more high-quality comments than ever before. Many of you even reported on problems that gave me plenty of new insights and perspectives on what and how to fix things. This is exactly what I need to turn a good product into a great product. This will soon be out on all of my plug-ins.

Please keep the feedback coming. Just remember to be precise and clear as possible on what problems you encounter. Don’t be afraid to post a question on my blog. I will do my best to resolve as many problems as I can.

On another note, the recently launched gallery.aim.com site is causing a noticeable increase in the activation rate of my plug-ins. This affirms my belief in the power and efficiency of these kinds of central distribution sites. I am glad it is finally here. Unfortunately, the activation step has stumped a few of you. I will be improving this process soon.

AOL Launches the AIM Gallery

Monday, September 17th, 2007

From the how to support custom app development department. AOL recently launched a new web site dedicated to the showcasing of custom apps that are built from the Open AIM SDK and web APIs.

This site, called AIM Gallery, can be accessed at gallery.aim.com. It should quickly become the best place to find and share mashups, AIM Bots, AIM Custom Clients, AIM Plugins, and AIM Whimsicals. See the web site if you don’t know what these are.

The site lets you search, browse, download, rate and comment on these apps. You can also upload your own creations.

Please visit the AIM Gallery today and be sure to let us know what you think about it. Thanks.
