Talk on your Personalized Homepage
March 14, 2007
Posted by Rhett Robinson, Software Engineer
We created the Personalized Homepage to help you gather all the things you care about on Google and across the web in one place. And since one of the things we all care about is communicating with friends, today we're excited to unveil a new version of Google Talk for your Personalized Homepage. The Google Talk Gadget lets you see your contacts and chat with your friends right on your homepage, and you don't have to download anything to start chatting. We've also added a few new features to make your chats a bit more colorful, like the ability to view
YouTube videos
and
Picasa Web Albums
photos in your chats. And just like many other gadgets, you can also add the Google Talk Gadget to your own webpage or blog.
To see the Google Talk Gadget in action on the Google Personalized Homepage, check out this
short video
. You can also read more about it on the
Google Talk Blog
. Then go ahead and
add it to your homepage
.
