Now that Gmail Chat can talk to AIM can we please get support for merging buddies together? I’ve got many friends on both my Gmail and AIM buddy lists and since I add an alias containing their real name to every buddy I’m now seeing duplicates all over the place.
Most of these people are using something like Pidgin, Adium, or even Gmail to be logged into both accounts from one client. Pidgin and Adium let me merge buddies together so even if they are on both accounts they will only appear once in my buddy list.
I understand that Gmail isn’t a full featured IM client but since I leave Gmail open basically whenever I’m at the computer I use it as my primary IM source. I’m sure there are others like me who’d love this feature.
