America Online released a new trial version of its AOL Instant Messenger software. Dubbed AIM Triton, the software lets people manage all their contact information from within the IM window, as well as place calls to any phone, send text messages to cell phones, watch Internet TV and listen to online radio. AOL hopes to boost usage even more by adding contact management capabilities, such as automatically retrieving names, email addresses and phone numbers from Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.
