Group Chat

You can now invite multiple people to chat with you in a group using the Google Talk Gadget. When you’re chatting with a friend, just click on the “Group Chat” button to invite one or more friends to join the conversation.

New Emoticons

We’ve added a nifty emoticon picker to the Google Talk Gadget, which lets you show off your and your in three different, animated styles. Just click on the smiley in the lower right corner of your chat tab to check them out and pick your favorite look.
