It looks like a new version of Orkut Cute has rolled out (now at version 8.7.2) and has included with its numerous tools the ability to contact your friends via Google Talk.
Although not a major deal (as Google added this to Orkut previously) one thing that makes this unique is that users have the ability to contact all of their online friends at once.
The feature is located underneath the Cute Talk tab (if you don't see it, select the Manager tab first, then Cute Talk).
For those of you who are not familiar with Orkut Cute, here is a brief recap of what this software (developed by Alexandre Pires) can do for your Orkut life:
- Scrap all of your friends at once
- Change your Orkut background
- Forum notifier (updates you on the latest community posts)
- Scrapbook notifier
- Anti-Virus center (very much needed)
- Last, Google Talk (with built in online indicator)
Alexandre has also developed several other programs for Orkut, although I am not sure if those are free ware and you may have to contact him directly for more details (as they can be misused).
You can find more information about Orkut Cute, as well as support over in the official forum.

hi,
have you read this:-
meebo
I've always thought of interoperability for chatting. Even suggested Google many times.. but in vain. wordpress and myspace take a leap ahead of Google.
I don't know why Google does not implement good and logical suggestions.
oops!! sorry its typepad not wordpress
apologize for the same.
I've heard of similar programs like Meebo (such as Trillian) .
I think Google's goal is to not "reinvent the wheel," but rather allow multiple chat programs to talk to each other (which would eliminate chat clients like Meebo and Trillian).
I generally prefer Skype, but that is because it has better features than any of its competitors.
