Official Google Blog: Talking With Orkut

googleblog.blogspot.com — If your friends are online and using Google Talk, you'll see a brightly-colored ball by their name. Green means they're available; orange means they're away from their computer; and red means they're busy. But no matter which color, if you see that ball, it means you can chat with or call your friends in just a couple of clicks.

    Blue ball - "I have to finish something, I'll be right back."

  • benlong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No invitation needed either. I must have been away from the computer when Orkut opened up.
  • docdendrite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I'm sure the Brazilian people will really appreciate this.
  • seattle98104, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5i tried signing up and it still wont let me. it's still invite only
  • IcerC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Ohhh I hate Okut... It's basically a big forum with all different mini forums.
    yuck.

    Atleast theirs gtalk now.

  • benlong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I tried to login using my gaccount from the front page, but it said it was invite only. Then I clicked the 'join' link at the top and it let me join. Good Luck.

    The bottom of the blog post said 'No Problem' with a link to the site, so I figured they opened it up!
  • Beshitehboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I am kinda lost, you can do this without having to go through Orkut. I do it on my gmail.com all the time. What's Orkut have to do with this?
  • Stealer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah, i´m Brazilian, and that improves orkut a lot, i don't like orkut it very much, but with gtalk its cooler you can talk with that cute girl you don't know just in the page ! :).
  • sayanranu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1gtalk also gives you a notification when u receive a scrap from someone, just like an email notification.
