AIM Interop

When you log in to AIM through Gmail chat, your AOL buddies will appear in your chat list with friends from your Google Talk network, and you will see the yellow “running man” logo to the right of your AIM friends’ screen names. To your AIM friends it will look like you are logged in to AIM as usual.

IM Interop

I must be psychic. This morning I was recalling that Google and AOL have long promised to integrate their instant messaging platforms. This would allow users on Google Talk to chat with their peeps who are on AOL Instant Messenger and vice versa. Low and behold, when I went to look it up I discovered that the expanded AOL-Google deal was unveiled exactly 1 year ago today. So what gives? Perhaps much more than what meets the eye.
