From this
release:
Google and AOL plan to let their respective instant
messaging features communicate. This way, someone using Google Talk could
chat with an AIM user, and vice versa.
The integration pact was announced Tuesday as part of a larger deal.
As previously reported, Google now owns a 5 percent stake of AOL, and has also extended an important advertising relationship with AOL for another five years.
The new IM partnership takes on significance because of who AOL did not partner with, namely Yahoo Inc. or Microsoft's MSN, the two other top IM makers.
