GMail + Talk (Updated)

Got it!

Some notes after a little testing

  1. * You can see when you partner ist typing
  2. * Smilies are changed to gifs
  3. * If you are chatting and have an open window, the name in the “Quick Contacts” flashes/highlights
  4. * The history is not updated at realtime/with ajax
  5. * Surprise, its AJAX and WEB2.0

And now some stuff that I miss:

  1. * Where is the timestamp?
  2. * Nice would be a popping window if a message is received

Thanks Mike for testing with me 🙂 (sorry, this smiley does not change 😉 )


GmailTalk asks for permission:
gmail_talk_001

Window poping out to chat:
gmail_talk_002

A little chat window inside GMail:
gmail_talk_003

A popup of the chat window togheter with GAIM:
gmail_talk_004

The settings of the chat tab (Thanks Caleb):
gmail_talk_005

Message if you lose connection to GMail+Talk during chatting:
gmail_talk_006

It’s nice and fast!

  1. How about a screenshot of the chat tab of the settings page? Did they add much?

    You are right Caleb, I added one

  2. I just got it right now. It’s pretty sweet. I like the ability to go on and off the record, save or not save parts of a converstation.
