GoogleTalk conference calls

You can do a multi-person chat with GoogleTalk. I had read about it but had never seen it before. I just tried it out with two of the guys in our office and it works like a charm. You can't conference chat from the regular desktop googleTalk widget (yet), you have to go to http://www.google.com/talk/. The web version has a group chat feature even though the desktop version doesn't.

One of the guys was wondering how many people we could get on googleTalk before it gacks ... kind of like the geek version of fratboys in a telephone booth.


I would also like to amend my posting GoogleTalk not there yet to say that it was a firewall issue here at the office. We had just changed from using a Proxy Server to straight Internet access and not all of the permissions were transferred. That is not to say I didn't read several complaints about similar problems with shared documents on various sites but I formally withdraw MY complaint.
