Over at the Official Gmail Blog they have announced the ability to chat with AIM users
through the Gmail web interface (just like you can chat with Gtalk users through the web interface). I think AIM is still the defacto instant messenger standard, especially among the less geeky among us, so this is a great integration feature. Hopefully they move forward with integrating other networks in to the service. Or, maybe they should just acquire Meebo and integrate that.

1another example of how google is taking over the world. AIM may be the defacto messenger, but anything attached to aol is slowly fading out (thanks to their overmarketing). i don’t like using AIM at work, but i’m now able to chat with friends using google.

2I just bought a power mac which uses I-Chat. A friend has a G-Mail account and I am trying to figure out what her AIM account would be. Any ideas?
