Light Reading reports that Google will be implementing Google Talk into Google’s social networking site - Orkut. Google Talk and Orkut’s development teams are busy working on the integration, which is expected to be finish by next week. Google spokeswoman Courtney Hohne said that they have noticed that “a lot of people that were using Orkut also had their GTalk client open at the same time”.

Although the integration hasn’t yet finish, but I guess that it is somewhat similar to Gmail Chat, just more Orkut-blueish.

“This single feature will have a significant impact on the penetration of Google Talk client especially in India where Orkut is hugely popular but GTalk is only to be found on the desktop of geeks.” says Amit Agarwal.
