Getting Chatty with Google Talk

June 12th, 2008 by Phil

Some new Google Talk features make it much easier for site owners to keep in touch with their visitors. 

You can now embed a “chatback” badge in your site that lets visitors see whether you’re available for a chat session.  A simple wizard lets you choose between different badge formats, including a version that can be sent by email. When clicked, the badge launches a simplified web based Google Talk client.

The full version of the client now features group chat and media embedding.

About Loosing Site

Putting your business on-line is no longer about setting up a website and having an “enquiries” address. Reputation, branding, research, service delivery and marketing extend into social networks and social media sites. Web tools are supplementing or replacing desktop applications, while the lower costs and expanding features of mobile devices are making ubiquitous access an affordable reality. We collaborate with colleagues that we've never met in person and inform our opinions with custom data feeds.

Loosing Site describes these changes; analysing trends, signposting resources and providing in-depth reviews and tutorials.
