Got an IM from someone with a link to a disclaimer by her employer.

Does that mean AIM is officially supported by that company? Peculiar :confused:

The stupidest disclaimer i've ever gotten, via email is:

This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose,
and is protected by law. If you are not the intended recipient, you should delete this message and are hereby notified that any disclosure, copying, or distribution of this message, or the taking of any action based on it, is strictly prohibited.


i always mass forward those to all my friends ;)

If companies adopt the AIM technology (via license, I believe), they can probably hack into it a bit to add those disclaimers on every first message, etc.

But there's better tools out there than AIM for corporate use... like Lotus Sametime. ;)

Probably have some third party software that monitors all incoming and outgoing IM traffic and adds that disclaimer to all outbound IMs for that company. The same can be done with E-Mail as well.
