An experiment with IM

14 years ago

From a post by James A Robertson on his blog, I learned you can add Google Talk to an ordinary webpage. That is, you can have either an iFramed chat box on the page (which is what he's doing) or a link to Google Talk.

Sounds cool, so I decided to try it out. Since he's having some issues with the iFrame version, I just went for a simple link. You can find it on the rightmost sidebar.

Have at it. If I'm running the Google Talk applet and logged in, you should see a green dot indicating that I'm online. You can ask anything you like, including DevExpress questions, if you want. I can't guarantee to always have an answer though (or an answer that I'm allowed to give, shall we say, if it's company related), but let's see if this works.
