Gmail Talk without the Google Talk

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Just givin’ Firefox 3 beta 4 a whiz around the track, and Gmail was being really unresponsive for me. So I did what any ‘experienced computer mechanic’ would do, and gave the page a few heart felt clicks with the mouse. That didn’t yield any results I wanted it to, but something unfamiliar and rather peculiar appeared from ‘out of the cloud’…

Gmail talk without the Google Talk

I don’t have the Google Talk client installed, so I Googled around to find out if this was a new feature or just an anomoly, but within two searches the only relevant results that came up were this this article which showed a different implementation of the inbuilt call feature, and this other one talking about the possibility of what I saw, coming soon.

Nothing happened when i pressed the new buttons of the box that sat bottom left in the web browser, and refreshing the page got rid of it.

Rather random, but perhaps I got a sneak peek at how the call function is going to integrated into the ‘chat’ box (on the left), when you click on a contact. Is this news? Or have others seen this too?

Feel free to speculate what the music symbol and purple circle are all about…
