IBM Brings IM Together

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the working-together-against-corporate-religion dept.

An anonymous reader writes "At their Lotusphere conference, IBM announced IM interoperability with AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo!, and Google Talk, to be shipped in the next release of its Sametime enterprise IM/web conferencing product in mid-2006." The omission of Microsoft's instant messenger seemed to raise quite a few questions, however.

    Sounds like the inhouse app that IBM people made "IBM Community Tools", Sametime backend with MSN, Yahoo, AOL functionality along with tons of really cool stuff and community building. (Skilltap for the win)

    Bit of a resource hog but it is pretty nice.

    If they are releasing this for public consumption I think it would be a good idea.
