Gmail + chat + AIM = Awesome

Google announced today that Gmail chat will work seamlessly with AOL’s chat service AIM. Gmail users can sign into their AIM accounts via Gmail Chat. In the chat, click options and you will see the sign in AIM feature.

Once you enter your AIM ID and password, it will bring all your AIM friends into Gmail and you can chat freely within the Gmail service. AIM chat will have all the features you get from Google Talk chat, it will have chat history, automatic sorting of favorite buddies etc. Initially this will be available in English version only, but later it will add other languages.

This is another great feature, earlier today they added few more features that will color label your folders, and you can search all the messages in the folders by the touch of the button as shown below.

And you can also add filters from each message you receive, directly from the message itself. Choose the message and click options and you will see “filter messages like these”.
