Sounds like some alphabet soup... but really, it makes sense! :-) I never knew you could do this, but apparently you can send an Instant Message as a text message to a cell phone. Check out this article, which really doesn't have too many details. Essentially, you add someone's cell phone number into your IM (or iChat) buddy list, send them an IM, and they receive it as a text message.
I haven't tried it yet (it doesn't work from Google Talk withing Gmail since it thinks the cell phone isn't online) but if someone out there wants to try it, send me a message and I'll let you know if it works! :-)
