Do new versions of AOL AIM clients show the e-mail addresses or real names for screen names? Someone just told me mine and I was wondering how they did it. AFAIK AOL doesn't have any public directories that work given ONLY a SN.

Maybe there's some online directory that I didn't know about?

(No, I don't have it in my profile or anything on there, and they did it right away so there wasn't any extensive research probably).

Er.. I don't think so. Only AOL should have this data and there's nothing for AIM SN's on the Yahoo search facilities AFAIK.

I know you can look up a screen name based on an e-mail address..so I'm sure there should be a way to do a reverse look up.

Yes, that is the question. What is the way to do the reverse lookup.

Come on guys, give me a little credit. That only applies to AOL subscribers, not all AIM accounts.

True. I'd like to know this information every now and then. Too bad people can be complete dicks on aim and they make you block everyone, or have a long block list. Very annoying. On my germyboy screenname, I have over 40 people blocked, and when for shits and giggles, I unblock everyone, within 10 minutes I have someone I a) don't remember or b) don't like IMing me again. It's so annoying. I'm going to get rid of AIM one of these days.
