Yes, you can can chat with me! Or chat to any bloggers whenever you see the Google Talk Chatback badge in their site.

If there is something you would like to communicate to a blogger and he has a Chatback badge on his blog or site then it would be very easy. When you see he is online, then just click on that bubble and wait for his response. You don’t have to download anything, or log-in to your account.

On the other hand, if you are a blogger and you want your visitors to reach you quickly, then all you have to do is copy the code for the widget. And embed it on your website or blog.

So if a visitor sends you a message, and you are using GTalk that time, you will get this alert from Google.

When you click the confirm link, you will be directed to launch the Google Talk Gadget, and each of your guests will have different tabs in the gadget. Google reminds you though to be careful on what you discuss in the Chatback since you are chatting with an unidentified person.

However, if you are using your Gmail when your guest tries to chat with you, you will receive this window. One guest, one window.

Though the Gtalk Chatback is a very convenient widget to use since it promotes quick interaction, only few bloggers would try to use the Chatback. Bloggers who have a lot of visitors in their site found the Chatback not practical since they couldn’t entertain all the chat messages that they will receive.
