Gmail - AOL IM integration

Interesting integration between AOL IM and Google Chat this week: Wash Post. Google's chat is built on (Denver-based) Jabber, which was conceived to be the ultimate cross-platform solution (and hasn't gotten a lot of traction).
I love this quote:
Yet another reason to evict AOL's software from your computer: You can now use your AOL instant-messaging account in Gmail.

The WPost says this integration was announced in 2004. Here's a Google employee's blog post on JANUARY 7th, speculating about when it would happen. :-)
