Gmail Integrates with AIM
The other day on the Gmail and Google blog it was announced that the planned Gmail chat and AIM integration we have all been waiting for is finally here.
We can now finally talk to both our Gtalk friends and AIM friends by signing on to both networks right from one site and one browser window.
Enabling the ability to chat with friends across both networks simultaneously AND having access to Gmail will be very beneficial for people who can’t access the AIM client for whatever reason.
And, even though web-based integration between different IM networks has been done by services such as Meebo.com, none give you access to your Gmail as well.
For more information on how it all works check out the post at the Gmail blog located here.

Is there going to be AIM in the Google Talk downloadable application (i.e. the Google Talk that you don’t have be in gmail to use?)
