hello IM

I am not sure if this is just not important enough to dedicate time to but would it be possible to add hello IM capabilities? Hello is Google's new IM. I know it has not had enough time to catch on, but I'm behind anything that's not Microsoft! It's only available on PC though. I got a username by downloading it to my brother's PC. It has potential, but I wish they would make a MAC version. Untill then, would it be possible for Adium support?

EDIT:
Here is a link to their site:
http://www.hello.com

didn't wait to have it posted and searched around:

https://secure.hello.com/index.php

it seems cool, and if it can be added to Adium (which may not be possible because of GAIM), but I'm not sure if I could take ANOTHER IM. I was hoping jabber would start taking over and put an end to all this. That or AIM miraculously made it huge in Canada (crappy MSN is the big thing here).

But get a dev's analysis... because I don't know THAT much

If my understanding is correct, this would have to be built into libgaim before Adium can support it.

It does sound pretty rad at any rate. And anything with Google's name behind it is bound to be worthwhile in the long run.
