Google has just launched a gadget for Google Talk. It works similarly to the version embedded into Gmail, but it’s created in Flash, so it has a richer interface. Each conversation has its own tab, so the gadget doesn’t occupy too much space. It’s also easier to search your contacts and to invite other people. Read the rest of this entry »
