* Away message: A function of some instant messaging applications whereby a user may post a message that appears automatically to other users if they attempt to make contact when the user is unavailable. It is analogous to the voice message on an answering machine or voice mail system.

# Buddy List: The centerpiece of AIM, a list containing the status of up to 1000 buddies stored on an AIM server so you can access this list from any instance of AIM. The status of the buddies can be seen as 'online', 'away', 'idle', 'mobile', or 'offline'.

A webcam (web camera) allows you to share live video images of yourself (or things near you) while you are instant messaging with a friend. Start your webcam during a conversation, or invite friends to tune in by broadcasting a link to your webcam as your status.

When you set your status to "View My Webcam", that means you are inviting friends to tune in to your broadcast. Friends can click on your status message to indicate that they want to see your webcam. Your will then receive your friend's request to view your webcam which you can accept or deny.
