AIM Fight

If you want to know who’s more popular at this very instant - you or the buddy you’re talking to on AIM, check out AIM Fight.

What can fighting really prove? Using a complicated algorithm, AIM® Fight crawls through the depths of the Internet to answer the all-important question that plagues us all: How popular am I right this second?

How do I win?

Your score is the sum of the current number of people online who have you listed as a buddy, out to three degrees. This means the score is constantly changing, and the winner of the battle will constantly change with it.

OK. It sounds a little complicated. But it’s not that bad. Here’s a diagram that makes it much clearer.
