Google Talk + Orkut

Finally Google is integrating both their Google Talk with Orkut. This is a very good move for orkut, I’ve yet to give it a try but from what I heard is that Orkut in Brazil means “a place where people meet and have sex.” Maybe that is why Orkut is so popular in Brazil and failed miserably else where.

“Google will soon announce that its Google Talk instant messaging and VOIP service will be built into its social networking site Orkut, Google’s version of MySpace. Google Talk and Orkut development teams are busy putting the finishing touches on the integration. The announcement will likely be made sometime next week.”

Poor friendster, it seems like they should have taken up Google’s offer long time ago. Well, it is never too late, maybe Google will approach them again in the future.
