PrivateAway is a free online service enabling AOL Instant Messenger users to leave private messages for specific screen names on their away messages and profiles. This tool is useful in many situations, for example:
* Andy wants to post a note on his away message inviting a few friends to a movie, but only wants certain people to be able to see the message.
* Katherine has "inside jokes" with some of her friends that she wants to put in her profile, but only wants to allow each friend to only view their own inside joke.
PrivateAway requires no downloads and can be accessed on the web from any location.
