You can do lot of interesting stuff with Google Talk like get alert notifications, save bookmarks to delicious, manage web calendars, set reminders, write blogs, and so much more.
Such features can be easily integrated into Google Talk through ‘bots’ which, in simple English, are like virtual friends who are online 24×7 and will always respond with a smile to your questions or requests.

Today we are happy to tell you about a new feature we’ve started to roll out which will enable you to sign into your AIM account and chat with your AIM buddies right inside Gmail. When you log in to AIM through Gmail chat, your AOL buddies will appear in your chat list with friends from your Google Talk network, and you will see the yellow “running man” logo to the right of your AIM friends’ screen names. To your AIM friends it will look like you are logged in to AIM as usual.

When it was first introduced, Google Talk had a lot of stiff competition in the instant messaging realm. Then Google integrated chat directly into Gmail, built a web-based version of Google Talk that’s even better than their desktop version, and topped it off with chat logs baked directly into and searchable inside Gmail. As a result, Google Talk has claimed a whole lot of IM converts. If you’re one of them, though, you probably still have a lot of contacts who use other services, like AIM, Yahoo, and even (gasp!) MSN. Today we’ll show you how to chat with all of your instant messaging buddies with all the benefits of Gmail and web integration using Google Talk as a universal chat application.
