gmail chat updates

Gmail Chat today updates with two new features/improvements - multicolor smileys and group chat. The exact same features were added to the Google Talk Gadget in May and June separately. However, this update doesn’t include the Flickr and Picasa Web photo slideshow feature that was added to the GTalk Gadget in April.

The first update on Google’s Talkabout Blog in more than 2 months only announced that the Google Talk Gadget is in 20 new languages. And the Google Talk desktop client haven’t got any major update during the year of 2007.

We may still have hopes though.
