I miss the screen sharing and multi person video chatting features. I wish Apple would bring them to FaceTime or Messages on the Mac. Skype isn't nearly as easy or elegant to use.
Got a tip for us?

I have to admit. I contacted the only AOL Instant Messenger friend I have left today and told him this terrible news for him.
Everyone else, the hundreds of people I once chatted with have all moved on with their lives.
I said, "Hey dude, you're going to have to find another way to deceive the wife!"

That's somewhat different than the service still being there and not being discontinued/shutdown.
