Become Invisible with Instant Messenger 5.5

AOL has released version 5.5 of Instant Messenger with a couple of long overdue new features, including a way to hide from your stalkers and still enjoy conversation with the cute girl you met at the show last night.

Clicking on an eye icon, your screen name goes from http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v11/famouswithoutme/openeye.gif online to http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v11/famouswithoutme/closedeye.gif offline, but you stay online-- able to chat and interact normally with anyone on your list.

Also included in this update: "linked" screen names (the capability to be signed onto more than one screen name at the same time, from one computer) and video chat complete with sound.

(I tested the video chat last night, and although the quality is lacking, it's not horrendous. Very few pauses and little to no lag in the streaming video was a nice surprise as well.)

Download/upgade to the new version 5.5 here.
