One good thing of google talk is that it's mainly just the jabber protocol, so using it outside from the web browser using your favorite IM client is easy as anything:
For example, one can use the amazing terminal-only Bitlbee. For me this didn't work immediately, but after trying several permutations of login names (gmail/googlemail) and port numbers I got logged in fine.
I bet Tombert knows the way of using some fancy graphical client to log in. Modern rubbish, pffft.
