google talk web update

Google made a few updates to the Google Talk Gadget that was released last month. They have added a “Pop out” button at the upper right corner that allows you to open the gadget in a new window, they have also created a button for webmasters/bloggers to put on their website.

Another new feature is that when you paste a Flickr URL, it will turn into a slide show, in addition to Picasa Web Albums and watching YouTube videos.

I still don’t get the point why to place a Google Talk Gadget on a site that the visitors couldn’t communicate with the site owner. Anyways, anyone have luck with the “Call” button? I couldn’t get it working.
