It’s
been a long time, and there’s been no new features added to one of
favorite, and modest instant messengers, Google Talk. If you can’t wait
for the Google Talk team to update their product and need more features
desperately, there are a number of third party GTalk add-ons you can
use. Here are a few of them:
gAlwaysIdle
At the time of writing, there’s nothing like ‘invisible mode’ on Gtalk
that can keep the annoyers at bay. But most people desperately need it.
Here’s where gAlwaysIdle comes in.
Download it , install it and from then on you can control your Google
Talk idle status. Use the ‘Always Idle’ mode to keep your status idle,
so that your status appears away even though you’re really online.
‘Never Idle’ mode works the other way, and will never put you on idle
status - even when you’re away.
GPlus
GPlus is another third party addon for Google Talk. You can spicy tools
to your minimalistic instant messenger with this little tool.
