AIM And ICQ to be Integrated

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the annoying-desktop-sounds-increased dept.

sam writes "According to this InfoWorld article the next version of America Online's Instant Messenger will allow users to communicate with ICQ users in a move that will bridge the gap between the company's two popular chat services. Maybe AOL finally woke up and realized people were using IM clients that have both in them." I still use only IRC for messaging, but this is gonna make things easier for a lot of users.

    AOL bought out ICQ!? I must get back in touch with the IM client section I never looked back upon after once using MSN Messenger. What's next, Microsoft advertisements on Slashdo- ... Nevermind...

    "I'm not sure whether or not you could use iChat to chat with ICQ firends; but you perhaps could chat with friends on ICQ"

    What is this on ICQ? Is it injected or smoked? A pill perhaps?
