New Feature in Google Talk

I don’t completely understand just yet, but it seems Google has some sort of new feature to Google Talk that will make it more like the Google Talk you use from within your inbox, but apparently it’s made with flash so of course it has a much richer interface. Some extra features, according to the Google System Blog, are listed below.


Some extra features:

* paste a link to a video from YouTube or Google Video and you'll see the title of the video and a thumbnail. If you click on "Play" an embedded player will show up and you'll be able to see the video inside the gadget.

* paste a link to an album or photo from Picasa Web and the gadget will display a thumbnail and some details. If you click on "View", the photos will be displayed in a small slideshow.

* you can also add links to videos and albums in your status. If your contacts use the gadget, they'll be able to see the content without opening a new page.

* the gadget can be added to your web page, although it won't be very useful there.
