Actually, I spoke with Gayle Laakman at CES (the engineer working on Google Talk's upcoming buddy icons). They have nothing to do with AIM interoperability. http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/google-talk-news /33539-google-talk-buddy-icons.html However, she did say that the interoperability between Google Talk and AIM would be similar to that between iChat and AIM; iChat users can add an AIM screenname and vice versa. In other words, it doesn't appear that it will be using XMPP with AIM (no big surprise there).
