Web Talk

Google Talk client is a very nice feature in your Gmail account because it lets you chat with your friends while writing emails. But its biggest limit is just this, namely it is impossible to use it outside Gmail…till now. As a matter of fact,  you can chat with your friends directly from the Firefox’s sidebar thanks to a simple add-on called gTalk sidebar. Once you install the extension the only thing you will have to do is to add a button to Firefox toolbar. To do that just right-click where all the Firefox buttons are (refresh, home, print, bookmark, go back, go forwards etc), click Customize and add the gTalk Sidebar icon by dragging it wherever you want.  Once you click on it, a sidebar will appear, on it you will be able to open multiple conversations in separate tabs. You can also open the sidebar by pressing Alt+G.
