Let me start by saying that I *love* the simplicity of Google Talk. No ads, no extra features that I dont need from an IM client. Chat, integration with GMail, integration with Google Desktop, and probably the best audio conversations available.

Why did I uninstall this a while back? Simple… Most of my contacts are using MSN Messenger.

Im now back using Google Talk as my IM client, because of a great article that I found that discusses how to hook up Google Talk to AIM, MSN and Yahoo using a Jabber proxy.

This is what IM is supposed to be. Im lovin it!
