In its continuing push to put AOL Instant Messenger service at the center of its communications strategy, America Online Inc. is adding contact management capabilities to AIM through a partnership with Plaxo Inc.

AOL and Plaxo Inc. on Wednesday announced that they are working together to integrate Plaxo's ability to import, export and synchronize contacts with the upcoming revamp of the AIM client, code-named Triton.

The companies are also building presence information from AIM into the Plaxo service, including within the Plaxo plug-in for the Microsoft Outlook e-mail client.

The Plaxo integration initially will be available in a beta release of Triton, expected in late July or early August, said Chamath Palihapitiya, AOL's vice president and general manager for AIM and ICQ.
