AIM Location Plugin, developed by Skyhook Wireless, tracks locations by using the continuous wireless pulses emitted by all Wi-Fi transmitters and Wi-Fi-enabled computers, rather using Global Positioning Satellite capabilities built into a growing number of mobile handsets. The plug-in adds a new grouping to AIM's buddy list window called "Near Meâ??, which displays any friends who opt to share their locations and who happen to be within a set distance from the AIM user. The application also can display a buddy's location on a map.
