IM Predictions for 2007

Hmm... I have a few predictions myself for 2007 with IM. Although it is already the 13th, I'll make a last-minute add-on.

I'm going to say that (Like Jeff and EggSalad have mentioned)
Google Talk Will be able to connect to AIM.

I also think that Trillian will have a Hassle-free way to have a google talk connection added in to it's collection-of-connections. People will grow confused and frustrated as to weather use simple Google Talk for IM, or the equally simple Trillian for IM.

Also, VoIP will become immensely popular. Phone companies will go furious over how people are using their computers to call the friends and buddies compared to the "old skool" telephone. (AT&T may experience some serious minus's in the stock market!)

...And that's it! Short, simple, and to the point you might say... ;)
