Title: Google Talk getting multi-user chats

Praise Jeebus.

The Talk web app already supports it, but the desktop client currently doesn't. They did say this:

The Windows client seems to be neglected this year, but I bet we'll see a major new release in the coming weeks that will add all the new features from the web version, phone calls and more.

So hopefully they get that out soon. In the mean time you can go to the GTalk page (http://www.google.com/talk/index.html) and click the "Launch Google Talk" button and the window will pop up with the web client. It works pretty much the same as the desktop one. But with group chat! Weee!

I kinda have to.. The company I work for is using it for int'l communication etc. So I have to keep it open often (especially when my boss is overseas).

I still prefer Google Talk.

Google Talk is fucking awesome.  I'm at work, and every possible chat client is blocked along with the websites to access them.  The main Google Talk page is blocked, but if I log into Gmail I can use it from there.  The best part is that it just looks like I'm checking my emails to anybody cruising by the cubicle.
