I don’t think AOL would be too happy about me polling their servers for the live status of thousands of users each time someone views the “Who’s Online” page. So instead I assume they are “live” if they have logged in and have been active on iChatters.com in the last 30 minutes. However, you can find out the LIVE status of a user when you click their “Profile” link. I figure that’s a good compromise and it shouldn’t make AOL angry.
