Soon after we launched AIM 6.5 we launched the AIM Dashboard. This web page is an aggregate view of your status messages and status messages of your buddies. It also displays an aggregate view of updates your buddies have made to things like Buddy Info, Pictures, even Flickr. When we launched Buddy Feeds last year the best way of viewing the buddy feed is by clicking on the buddy feed indicator on the buddy list. Now this web page will provide a clear and concise picture of things you and your buddies want to share with each other. Here is my AIM Dashboard where you can view what I have been up too. You can manage the Buddy Update settings and what your buddies can see about you, such as away message updates or status message update, by navigating to the settings page. If you are a user of AIM MusicLink the current song that gets stored as the status message is now kept in the history view of your Dashboard.
