You’ll also find all your Gmail and Google Talk contacts organized for you in the Talk Gadget.

The Google Talk Gadget looks and feels the same on a Linux desktop as on a Windows laptop, and it also works on Macs.
And if you have a webpage or blog, you can put the Google Talk Gadget in those places too, so your visitors can sign in and start instant messaging right from your page. If you post your username next to it, visitors can add you as a contact and start chatting with you right away.
