The interface of Gtalk (Google Talk) gives people a feeling of simplicity and freshness. The latest test version has added new functions such as file transfer, voice messages, and displaying music status. This makes me fall in love with Gtalk. What's more amazing is that Gtalk uses the open-source jabber communication protocol, unlike msn, yahoo, and icq which use their own closed communication protocols. This allows us to not only log in and use Gtalk on any jabber client, but also integrate msn, yahoo, and icq into Gtalk. From now on, you don't have to open multiple IMs on your computer at the same time, just open Gtalk and everything is done, cool!

Below, I will introduce how to use the jabber client Psi to integrate your msn, yahoo, aim/icq, and qq accounts into Gtalk. This setup process requires the use of Psi, but after that, you don't need to open Psi anymore, just open Gtalk and you can chat with your msn friends.
