New Google Talk chat widget added to web bling in sidebar of this blog

Google Talk has a new feature which is a little chat widget that can be added to web pages, weblogs, etc.

It uses the most basic standard web technology: HTML.  So it should work fine in any modern web browser.

I am trying it out to see if it helps my friends stay in touch with me.  If demented webvertisers start pointing 'bots and sub-minimum wage flunkies at it to try to sell me services/products, then I think I will unplug it.

In the meantime, it will be an interesting an hopefully useful experiment.
