Few months ago, when news broke out that Google Talk and Orkut would be integrated, we were all expecting an embedded Google Talk Chatbox within Orkut (something like what we see within Gmail), but unfortunately they didn't do that. Instead, they just added our Orkut friends are GTalk contacts and added our status message to be seen in Orkut. Recently Google introduced a new Google Talk Gadget which could be embedded onto any blog or webpage. Making use of this gadget, ErickXavier has coded a Greasemonkey script which adds a nifty Google Talk gadget within Orkut Sidebar, which allows you to stay intouch with your buddies without installing Google Talk. Installation: Just like any other Greasemonkey script, you need Firefox and Greasemonkey extension before attempting to install this script.
