Google had released Chat widget today to embed the widget into any web site / blog and let the readers of the blog chat with you. Get the widget here.
So, how does it identifies your logon? Simple, the widget code that you will paste in your blog will contain all the details to identify you.
Does the user needs a Gmail account to chat with you? The answer is absolutely “No”. Any anonymous user can chat with you. So please be sure that who is chatting with you and don’t share any personal data.
So, How do you chat?
You click on the bubble, and you will get a popup to type in the message.
On the receiving end, When someone click on the link on your site and you are logged into the GTalk, then you will get a alert like this below.
Google is kind enough to alert you that you are chatting with Anonymous! I have two chat windows as I get two messages.
I wonder how many chat windows will be created if more number of people pings you!!
So, get your widget and plug it in your blog / site and make your viewers connect to you!

It would be cool if they also incorporated a group chat (i.e. a chatroom) too (like a meebo widget, but obviously with gmail addresses).
