Google Talk to be Integrated Inside Orkut

After Gmail and Google Docs, Google is now working on integrating Google Talk within Orkut. Although there is no official announcement regarding this, a report published on Light Reading says:

Google will soon announce that its Google Talk instant messaging and VOIP service will be built into its social networking site Orkut, Google’s version of MySpace. Google Talk and Orkut development teams are busy putting the finishing touches on the integration. The announcement will likely be made sometime next week

It should directly impact Orkut’s userbase and effectively minimize the need to communicate using scrapbooks, but then it all depends how its users want it to be, if they won’t like it, they’ll dump it and start using Scrapbooks again. 

It will not only make chat box within Orkut, but it will act as a online presence indicator as well. Most of my friends on Orkut use Yahoo or MSN as their primary Instant Messenger, but integrating Google Talk inside Orkut will surely popularize Google Talk among them. Hopefully, it will make my Scrapbook look cleaner (w/o scraps like Hi…, h r u etc)

  • The scrapping would remain albeit it will be reduced. The scrapping works out for those group of friends that do not happen to be online at the same time and are seperated by distances.
  • To tell u guys, i hate to chat in orkut. First of all it's damn slow, and then you've got lots of problems.
  • Yes Chethan, I would agree with you, Most of my friends on Orkut are dumbos.
  • I think that includes me, :P
  • Vyoma: Wowie... That was quick
