I.M, SMS and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Buena Vista Television and AOL entered a deal that will allow tens of millions of AOL members, AOL Instant Messenger users and (mobile) fans of the show to participate in "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire's" "Ask The Audience" polling, reports Geekzone.

Those who add the "MillionaireIM" screen name to their AIM Buddy List can participate in the show when a contestant selects "Ask the Audience" by receiving actual game questions via I.M. or SMS and answering them in real-time.
