Gmail Chat Is Integrated With Orkut

November 22, 2008, filed in: Google

Google’s Orkut team has added a new feature to Orkut that is Orkut users can now directly able to chat with their Gmail friends from Orkut. Orkut users will be able to chat with their friends directly from Orkut. Orkut users get an easy control over their Orkut friend with whom they want to chat and add as their Gmail friends. Most importantly chat with all of your Orkut as well Gmail contacts. One more important thing is that now Orkut users can chat as well as browse their friends profile, share photos, write scraps and a lot of Orkut activities.

To get you started, we’ve come up with a formula that automatically predicts which of your Orkut friends you probably want to chat with, and only tells those people that you’re signed into Google Talk. Our formula takes a bunch of things into consideration, giving preference to people who you’ve labeled as ‘best friends’ or written scraps to recently, and people who have friends in common with you.
We realize that no one knows who you’d like to talk to better than you do, so we’ve also made it easy for you to add and remove people from your list of orkut chat friends. To make changes to the list, just go to the revamped Google Talk settings page. Don’t worry, only you can see your list of chat friends, so there’s no need to worry about any hurt feelings when you make changes.
If you already use Google Talk, either on its own or as part of Gmail, then your friends signed into Google Talk in other applications will also be able to chat with you when you come online.
