I am looking for a google chat client that I can embed in my website so visitors can chat with me directly. I haven't found any widgets like the google voice widget in which a visitor is connected directly to you without authentication. The only authentication I would want would be their name and email address.
Are there any widgets out there that integrate with google chat nicely?
Thanks, Walter
Hi Walter,
I am working on developing for my customer, a similar widget which works with XMPP server. And since gtalk is built on XMPP it should work here too. It is not a very difficult thing to build, can't share the application with you because the app belongs to the client. But can guide you to develop one if you are interested.
I am having one problem which is posted here at stackoverflow. Once I resolve this issue will be happy to share more details.
Maybe you can find a standard Jabber(the protocol GChat uses) client, create an default "user" account and add yourself as a buddy.
It seems that you are looking for the Google Talkback badge:

Note, that in order to use it with Google Apps for Domains, you need to disable the SSL option for your domain while creating the badge, you can reenable it afterwards.
