Will We see gmail IM interconnecting

This would totally knock gmail talk out of the water, if Microsoft could link
up the messenger functions... Is this possible to do.. Or is there a addin
for this.

Any Ideas

Well done to the Windows Live Messenger Team greate job all round.

Google talk is using the jabber protocol that is an open source free
protocol....

thats why other clients like trillian pro and GAIM can connect to google
talk.

Dont push your luck too far.. this yahoo-msn integration was a huge leap

Perhaps in the future.. but dont hold your breath...

They are the same company, they should be integrated! AOL puchased ICQ
years ago. If they didn't talk to each other by now, there would be more
than a little something wrong.

So you are telling me this as news? I probably have a smaller ICQ number
than you do!
