i think that if this works good and people know about it, it will help google take OFF(google talk)!!!!!!!! even more than now. plus i have TONS of friends that use aim but i dot want to use it cause it can get u virus' and stuff no beauno

but if this works i no that a least 10 of my friends will switch to google talk. its also kinda funny that google owns stock in a competing company :P

Competing? In what areas are Google and AOL in competition?

actully this is a good thing if it can take off the many users of aol can talk to the users of google so it helps spread the playing feild by having compatibility

I suppose on one side we have a Google Talk-AIM-ICQ alliance, and the other side a MSNM-Y!IM coalition?

This is getting interesting...

It certainly makes 'omnibus' programs like Trillian more attractive than ever.
I just 'turn it on', and everything, (including IRC) is connected.

I have to admit, though. The idea of someone on AOL being able to IM me is still a little disconcerting. I'm still not sure those people should be allowed out in public without supervision.

With Google paying one billion for a 5% share of AOL, it makes good sense. There are 50 million AIM (AOL) users currently. Hiring Sean Egan a lead developer of Gaim is smart, too. The new Google Talk Voice features are included in the beta 2.0 of Gaim and it can be found here.

This is great news I currently use Trillian because I have AIM, MSN and Yahoo messengers. Is there any word of also supporting MSN and Yahoo?
