google.com — Interesting tid-bit from Google. Apparently part of the 1 billion dollar AOL deal is that Google Talk Instant Messaging Software will be able to to communicate with AIM. What will this mean for other clients like Adium or iChat?

Who cares about AIM?!?!?! Who really gives a crap about Google Talk or this deal, for that matter????? Bad move by Google.

This is one great bargain for Google. AOL doesn't value their 30 million active users and Google will make their money back in no time.Btw, trillian and gaim is using AOL's network illegally. AOL could block them any time (and probably will).

If GAIM has a good tie with Google Talk, I would hope that it means we'll see voice chat in Adium sooner than we think.As for video...you don't want to know what I'm doing while I'm talking to you via IM.

Nobody I know uses AIM, therefore nobody uses AIM. :D

Talk is a jabber client and according to wikipedia "A unique feature of the Jabber system is that of transports, also known as gateways, which allow users to access networks using other protocols - such as AIM and ICQ (using OSCAR), MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger (using the .NET Messenger Service), Yahoo! Messenger, SMS or E-mail." So how do i use my Talk to message aimers?
