Google has taken an extra step to make using Google Talk as simple as possible. They’ve created a Gadget specifically for your Personalized Homepage that enables you to chat with your friends and see who is online.
I just added it to my personalized homepage, and I was actually surprised at how much I like it. One of its’ nicest features is that it will tab your conversations up at the top so that it’s easy to switch between them.
They also give you the code so that you can add the Google Talk Gadget to your own webpage. One of the benefits of this is if you decide to create your own “from scratch” custom homepage, you could quickly and easily add Google Talk.
Definitely a nice addition!
You can add it to your Google Personalized Homepage by clicking here.
This is irresistible cool! Beat that Yahoo!!
The gadget is pretty nice…
The only issue that I have with it is, in Firefox, if you’re away from the Google Homepage tab, there needs to be a better notification system if someone sends you a message.
With Meebo the tab will start to flash different colors. I think something like that is necessary.
Yeah, there definitely needs to be some awesome notification system going on. Right now that is about the only thing that keeps me from actually wanting to chat using this.
