Have you ever wondered who is watching you when you are on AOL Instant Messenger (AIM)? Who is reading your profile, and checking you out?

Well, wonder no more, because Justin Nolan, the body behind the relatively new ConnectedMobiles.com, has written Aimtrac, just for you!

Says Justin, an apparently bored college student (although certainly prolific, if he’s the same Justin Nolan behind PDALive.com and PDAVideos.com, which Aunty believes that he is), “I was a little bored yesterday and created Aimtrac. It’s basically a clone of BuddyTracker, but without the ads and without having to signup or register. What it does is track people who read your AIM profile (they have to click an undescriptive link such as “check this out”). It can tell you the screennames of everyone that clicked the link, how many visits, the time of their last visit, etc.”

Well, Justin, we’re glad that you got bored, because this is a nifty little program.

Sure, as Justin points out, you can get much the same functionality with BuddyTracker, but Aimtrac is easy to use (”To start using Aimtrac all you need to do is copy a line of code into your profile”), written by Justin, and free. What’s not to love?

Well, other than what you learn about how many complete yobbos are checking you out.

You can get Justin’s Aimtrac here.
