Connecting Google Talk to AIM, MSN, and/or Yahoo

January 23, 2006

I’ve been using Google Talk lately as my IM client, but a lot of my annoying friends and family still use the advertisement heavy and intrusive AIM client. I’d still like to be able to talk with them, but I want to only use one IM client.

Someone figured out a sweet way to accomplish this using the Jabber protocol as an intermediary. Check out the instruction here. Basically you make the bridge using PSI initially, then you can go back to Google Talk. It is slightly cumbersome, but the results rule.

google, talk, google talk, im, instant message, instant messaging, aim, aol, aol instant messenger, msn, yahoo, jabber, psi

    This looks neat, but I’m still attached to AIM considering everyone I know uses it. There are ways to disable ads on AIM via third party software such as deadAim or if you are ambitious enough you can always resource hack it.
    A while ago I really went to town on modding it (also with blackbox 4 windows)

    heh, you can tell that desktop screen is from a few years ago. I still had aol installed for when I was at my parents house *shiver* and I had firebird (or maybe its pheonix?) at any rate old build of firefox.

    For months now I’ve been still using AIM “because everyone uses it”, but I don’t have to do what everyone else does now. I can happily use Google Talk to talk with anyone who uses whatever the heck IM network excites them.

    Of all people Mike, I need to throw you a big old No Sheep!
