Google Talk chatback badges in new styles

Google Talk chatback badge

Google launched new Google Talk feature at February that lets visitors to your web site chat with you. That is "chatback" because instead of you doing all the talking on your blog, your visitors can talk back to you. Sure, they could leave comments, but those are public and hard to use for a real conversation. With chatback, it's a real instant message session.

I am also integrate that facility in Dotcom-SEO blog. if you want chat with me Gtalk feature in this blog sidebar.

Now Google update the Google Talk chatback badges in several new styles. These options are available by clicking on the “Styles” drop down menu when creating a chatback badge.

Gmail - new updates

• invisible mode in Gmail chat

Last week Gmail Chat added a new status option: 'invisible' Now you can be logged in to Gmail Chat and see if your contacts are online, but they won't be able to see you're online.

Note: This Gmail feature is only available in the new version of Gmail, supported in Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2. I wonder if less people will disable Gmail Chat or the feature will become less useful.

• Google Talk 'Chatback'

Do you have a blog, online profile, or some other personal web page? Would you like to communicate more with your visitors?

Here are some screenshots from a newer version of Gmail, still in testing (Gmail is one of the interfaces that can be used to access Google Talk):
