As I assume everyone knows by now, Google Talk is a jabber based instant messaging service. Recently, it was opened up to inter-server communication (part of the jabber protocol). If you have a lot of friends using different instant messaging protocols, this has a significant advantage to you. Jabber servers can supply gateways, which allow you to connect with users of other services. Awhile ago, jabber.org listed public servers that are capable of doing this, but it seems that they no longer do. Since that list is no longer available, I went googleing and found you a tutorial that suggests a server with gateways to most of the common services (just change icq in the example to aim or msn, etc).
Go check out the tutorial (one less thing I have to write)
If you have trouble, it looks like this server also supports some of the common gateways.
Edit: There is another tutorial here, using exodus instead of psi, if you prefer.
