For the computer nerds on the list, I offer two links related XMPP that might please some people here.
Blog about how to setup an XMPP server to link you to the AIM, MSN, and YAHOO IM networks. http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/chat-with-aim-msn-yahoo-and-other-contacts-over-google-talk-289097.php Google code page for the module that allows connecting to AIM via the XMPP server. http://code.google.com/p/pyaimt/ In short, you don't need an AIM client or MSN client to talk to friends on those networks, just a server to do the translating.
