Could we be seeing a Google-branded multiple format IM client sometime in the future? The web is hopping with discussion about the reasons for Google hiring the Gaim's lead developer, Sean Egan. I wonder what the folks over at CeruleanStudios.com are thinking right now...?

"Egan will continue his work on Gaim, which is currently nearing its 2.0 release. Voice compatibility with Google Talk and support for the webcam features in MSN Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger are on the list of new features."
