As for the thread subject. That was my ICQ name back in freshman year. Anyone still use that anymore? I think Trillian made me stop using multiple IMs so all i resorted to only AIM

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.

You can hook up Google Talk to ICQ/AIM/MSN/etc using a third party Jabber client. I have attempted this because my 770 has a Google Talk client. I have connected successfully to jabber.meta.net.nz (the only open Jabber server that would let me register on the AIM transport that I could find), and it found all my AIM contacts. I have authorized all of them.
When I check it in Gmail Chat, I don't see any of them. I don't think that's supposed to work, though it would be nice.
When I check it in Google Talk on the 770, I see all the AIM contacts, but I can't seem to connect to the jabber server. I don't know enough about the architecture of Jabber to know if I have to log in to jabber.meta.net.nz to communicate with aim.jabber.meta.net.nz folks, or if jabber.org is supposed to be smart enough to figure it out.
If anybody gets this working let me know. Hopefully Google will add a feature to make this easy soon.
