It looks like Google is beginning to marry Google Talk with Orkut, as several new features are already appearing within my Orkut account.
Unfortunately it is not a full blown version of Gtalk within Orkut, although you can see the basics of one being developed. In order to sign up, users need to visit http://www.orkut.com/GoogleTalkSignup.aspx .
Users already familiar with Google Talk (and active using it) will simply need to connect their Orkut account with their Gtalk account. You will have the option to simply have all of your Orkut friends see you, or select which ones can view your status manually.
Once you connect the two, you will begin to see changes within Gtalk, that is if your friend has an Orkut account.
Although I do enjoy these teasers from Google, I await the full blown version of Gtalk underneath my Orkut profile.
Note: Is it me, or did anyone else notice the color change around your profile picture? I wonder if the change was made in order to match Orkut's skin for Gtalk?

This is freaking great!
Porque vocês não inserem a versão do Google Talk em ajax diretamente dentro do Orkut, assim como o GTalk que funciona dentro do GMail?
Mandar e receber mensagens direto do browser, sem istalar nenhum programa seria maravilhoso!
Vocês iriam acabar com a hegemonia do MSN Messenger no Brasil, pois os usuários não precisariam fazer download de nada!
Pensem nisso! ;)

Vocês MSN Messenger in Brazil would go to finish with the hegemony it, therefore the users would not need to make download you are welcome! They think about this! ;)
I think Google should add Gtalk directly inside Orkut. This teaser is nice, but the real thing would be better.
ou usem eBuddy.com, onde voce nao precisa instalar nada e tem acesso nao so as google talk mas tambem msn, yahoo, aim e myspace im..tudo no navegador web
