What's a Google Talk chatback badge and how do I create one?
Google innovates a solution and Wetpaint Supports it!
Google Talk chatback badge allows others to chat with you even if they haven't signed up for Google Talk on their Google Account or if they don't have a Google Account. You can put the badge in your blog or website, and people who visit those pages can chat with you. The badge will display your online status (whether you're available to chat or not) and, optionally, your status message. You need to be a Google Talk user to create a badge, and you'll need to be online and available (with a green ball next to your name) in Google Talk to enable people to chat with you. If you're not a current Google Talk user, you'll need to create a new Google Account. If you have Gmail on your Google Account, you can use Google Talk with your Gmail username and password. You can also use the Google Talk Gadget; just go to http://www.google.com/talk/ and click 'Launch Google Talk Gadget.' To create your chatback badge, visit http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/New. If you're using a Google Apps account, you can create a chatback badge by visiting http://www.google.com/talk/service/a/DOMAIN/badge/New where DOMAIN is the name of your domain. From the page, copy and paste the HTML into the source of your webpage where you want the badge to be displayed. You'll know it's working if you see a large Google Talk bubble showing your current online status along with the message 'Chat with [your name]' (or whatever you selected as your badge title).
Example:
Yes, you can talk to more than one person at a time, and each chat will be one to one.
Even launch a group chat, to initiate start a chat with a single contact first. Once the chat has been established, click Group Chat from that tab to invite more participants.
There's no limit to the number of people you can chat with in a group chat, and any participant can invite others to join as well. To end your chat, simply click the X in the chat tab to close that chat. The group chat will continue until all participants have left - if you want to rejoin, you'll need to be invited back by a participating contact.
