Seems Google has integrated their lightweight chat application with their hugely popular social networking website Orkut. Google Talk now lets you send and receive notifications of new scraps from within the application.
Find out right away when you get new scraps.
Easily send scraps, share files, call, chat, and more.
Chat, call, and instantly receive scraps with your orkut friends by using Google Talk.
Orkut will show a GREEN DOT next to your friends name when they are online and available for chat. The website also lets you add your Orkut friends to your Google Talk contact list. This will surely give applications such as Scrapboy some competition. I recommend you check this out yourself because I haven’t, since I’m not much of an Orkut fan.
