How to Add Google Talk Gadget in Orkut

Few months ago, when news broke out that Google Talk and Orkut would be integrated, we were all expecting an embedded Google Talk Chatbox within Orkut (something like what we see within Gmail), but unfortunately they didn’t do that. Instead, they just added our Orkut friends are GTalk contacts and added our status message to be seen in Orkut.

Recently Google introduced a new Google Talk Gadget which could be embedded onto any blog or webpage. Making use of this gadget, ErickXavier has coded a Greasemonkey script which adds a nifty Google Talk gadget within Orkut Sidebar, which allows you to stay intouch with your buddies without installing Google Talk.

Installation: Just like any other Greasemonkey script, you need Firefox and Greasemonkey extension before attempting to install this script. Click here to install the script from our mirror (Alternatively, you can get it from Userscripts)

  • well this one is really cool...thanks. Can i link back to this article...?
  • We were expecting this for a long time. Very useful Script. I installed now. Works very fine. But the smaller standard width irritates.
  • Thanks for posting about this! Loving this hack feature already!

    If only Google would add this for everyone, then all of the IE fans would not feel left out.
  • Abhishek: You don't need ask for permission before posting a link back to this site. Infact, you are always welcomed to do so.

    Ramanathan: Yeah, a wider gadget would have been better, but to maintain the sidebar width, the coder was forced to impose that restriction. Perhaps, he could have made use of the right sidebar

    Darnell: Thanks for featuring me :D
  • Hi, It is a very interesting topic and useful too.
    I think this will help people, who is interested in new innovation.
    Thanks
