GMail Chat and Facebook use the Jabber protocol, AIM uses a different
protocol.
I've had Facebook chat working through Empathy. I didn't use it much
as I found was that if the remote user was using the web-based chat,
it was difficult or impossible to reliably tell their
online/offline/away status, and that some messages sent to them did
not arrive possibly for that reason.
