IBM Links Sametime to AIM, Yahoo & Google Talk

At Lotusphere this week, IBM announced a midyear upgrade to their Lotus Sametime instant messenger that will provide interoperability with AIM, Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk. Lotus Sametime 7.5 will also include a mainstay of the consumer instant messaging market: emoticons or "smileys."

IBM is also planning to incorporate "click-to-call" web-based voice calls through deals with Avaya, Nortel, Polycom, Premiere Global Services, Siemens AG and Tandberg ASA.

Conspicuously absent from this list was Microsoft, who markets a competing enterprise product. Unlike Microsoft, whose Live Communications Server offers connectivity to Yahoo! and AIM for a price, Lotus Sametime connectivity will be included at no additional cost.

The walls keep crumbling...
