Hey i was wondering if google talk can IM people who have AIM?

Yes, but not with the Google Talk client, and not all AIM features are supported. This was a featured article on BigBlueBall a while back. http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/google-talk-news/33739-connect-google-talk-aim-msn-yahoo.html

This is not a long term fix, as AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo were obsoleted by Jabber when Jabber became the internet standard for Instant Messaging. The only long term fix is as follows:

1) Pick a date about 90 days out.

2) Distribute your Jabber ID and that date to everybody on your Obsolete Four contact lists and let them know you will not be using the Obsolete Four networks after that date and that they'll need LJ Talk, Google Talk or some other Jabber server to continue contacting you by IM.

3) On the date you picked, delete your logins on the obsolete four networks.
