Seems that this is the new hotness.
I’ve had a GMail account for some time now, and GMail really changed the way I use email everyday - at least until Google added POP/SMTP support, then I got back using a MUA (at least when I can use either my notebook or my workstation). Now, with GoogleTalk supporting Jabber, I registered a new account on Gaim, and here it is:
ebassi@gmail.com
(which, incidentally, is also my main email address for all the development-releated issues)
