Re: Text messaging...

Interesting suggestion...  Since I am the developer for AIM, I know 
this can be added quite simply.

Just after the latest build was made, I changed AIM to allow messaging 
offline buddies.  This came after I figured out how to REALLY do 
invisible on AIM (You still see who is online).

The question I want to propose to the list is should Fire make SMS 
messaging users show up as always online, or not (since they aren't 
really a buddy)?
