Google integrates AIM with GMail
If you are one of those lucky people to have GMail 2.0, Gmail chat now gives you the option to integrate the popular AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) with your GMail account allowing you the option to chat with your AIM buddies right inside GMail. Your AIM buddies will populate your Gmail Contat list and you can search for them just like your GTalk contacts.
Once you’re signed in, just click the down arrow next to your status message and select Sign in to AIM. If this is your first time connecting, you’ll be prompted to enter your AIM screen name and password. Click Connect to continue.
For all the privacy watchers, Google will not store your AIM password. When you first sign in, your AIM password will be forwarded to AOL’s OpenAuth service. AOL will then validate your log-in information and then Google will use a token to sign you into AIM. Googe will then forget your password.
