Multiple login in Google Talk

This is very simple and very cool and useful.
Here is how you can do.
All you need is to add /nomutex at the end of the target of ur google talk shortcut.

Example:Suppose ur google talk is installed in c:/ drive.
Than All u need is to make D:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe as this
D:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe /nomutex

Mind the space between googletalk.exe and /nomutex

Make Yahoo Messenger Look like Google Talk

I love Google Talk because it’s simple and clean, but unfortunately that’s not the same with Yahoo Messenger. Bright colors and unwanted features make Yahoo Messenger look ugly! Thankfully, someone has created Google Talk skin for Yahoo Messenger.
Installing the skin:

* Download the skin from here
* Extract the contents of the zip and move it to C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Shared\Graphics (default installation folder, change it only if you have installed Yahoo Messenger somewhere else)

Activating the skin:

* Run Yahoo Messenger
* Go to Messenger > Change skin…
* Choose Google Talk from the drop down menu and click OK

Integrate Google Talk With Firefox and Opera

Now you can use Google Talk in the panel / sidebar
while browsing with your favourite browser.

You dont need to have the GTalk client installed at all.

1. Go to Bookmarks ---> Organize Bookmarks
2. Click New Bookmark.
3. Paste the following URL in the address (URL location) field.
http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/client

4. Enter any name for the bookmark like GTalk.
5. Select the option for adding in sidebar or panel.
6. Click OK and you are done.

Google Talk talkgadget requires Adobe Flash Player 8 or above.

Works in both Opera & Firefox.
