iChat is teh ghey
Awhile ago I found some cocktail napkins left behind by a girl who just wasn't careful enough about her cleanup when she left for the restroom. For the most part, those napkins had all sorts of tidbits on them about iChat. I passed on a few of them to a very small group of people, and right now there's an Adium developer reading this link about iChat getting iTunes integration and probably pissing themselves wondering if the rest will be true.
I dunno, but a very telling sign will be if you'll be able to click on the song in someone's status and it'll take you directly to that track in the iTunes store. And no, no one is going to get that subject except the girl who was careless, and only because it was on the napkin next to hers. So many napkins, so little time.

That should be "TEH GHEY". That napkin also should have mentioned that AOL themselves toyed with this idea, but to date, has not committed to it. Shame, really, since with Radio@AOL, Musicnet, and the iTunes partnership, it would have made a lot of sense.

If you poke around iChat 2.1 with the various tools that use the objective-C runtime, the class PeopleController which is the delegate to iChat's buddylist, has a method called "playSharedTuneOfSelectedPerson." Though this could be a something that just never panned out for whatever reason, rather than a feature to be implemented in the future.
