IBM instant messaging links to AIM, Yahoo, Google (but not MSN)
via Yahoo News:
"IBM, whose secure messaging system is used within many of the biggest companies, on Monday said its customers would soon be able to chat with instant messaging users from America Online, Yahoo and Google.
International Business Machines Corp. said it plans by midyear to allow its Lotus Sametime corporate instant messaging system to work with the three consumer messaging systems, marking the latest move to breakdown barriers that have separated instant messaging audiences from one another."

Google talk federation is live
At last...!
From googletalk.blogspot.com:
I flipped the switch to connect the Google Talk Service to the public XMPP network this morning. Google Talk users can now chat with users on other XMPP services and vice versa.
This means you can now talk to my BBC jabber bot using Google Talk - just invite backstage@menti.name and start talking!
