Create a Chat-with-me Widget

| Comments

Have you ever wanted to create a chat-with-me widget on your blog or just on a regular web page, look no further! Here are the 3 easy steps for creating a GTalk widget that can easily be included on any web page.

First, a pre-requisite: you must have a Google account. I guess most of us already have one…

Then, the steps:

  1. Go to the Google Talk chatback badge page
  2. Copy the generated HTML code into your blog/web site

Actually, that was just 2 steps, not 3. My bad.

There is one interesting thing about this chat widget: your visitor does not need a Google account to use it, but will just appear as a guest in the chat. Nice and easy for the visitor, but for you it might be problematic not knowing the visitor’s identity.
