If you're a GoogleTalk fan and/ or have loads of Google buddies then you'll be thrilled to know that Google has released a new (Adobe Flash based) Gadget for your webpage that allows you to Instant Message (in a tabbed format) with your Google friends.... and they don't even need to have GoogleTalk installed. All that is required on your visitors side, apart from Adobe Flash Player v8+, is a Google Account and for you it's as simply as adding a wee line of code to your webpage.
You can see the Gadget and get the code from here but the really neat thing about it, apart from being able to IM with video and photo previews (file transfer and voice isn't supported at this stage), is that you can even set the default Gadget colour, height and width to fit with your existing website template :)
