AIM integration on Gmail
AIM integration using Gmail
Gmail is going Places. Gmail first integrated Gtalk into Gmail, so that people can chat and mail at the same time, then they integrated GTalk and Orkut and then social networking became easier. Then they introduced group chat into gmail and now they have introduced AIM integration into Gmail and which i believe is great!
To chat with your friends however you need to sign in to your AIM account, so it is not a Yahoo and MSN integration where in you can chat with your MSN buddies using your Yahoo Account. But, in this case you need to sign in to your AIM account and then your contact list will be populated with your AIM contacts and you can search your contacts just like you do in Gtalk.
So, I am waiting for the day when they have a open standard in the Real sense and I am waiting for the day when you can sign in from any messenger service whether its google, Yahoo, MSN or AIM and yet chat with users from any other service. Lets hope to see this soon!!
