    Yes, you are correct. If your friends have GMail, they can enable GTalk from there.

    I do not remember downloading anything on my computer. When I open my browser and Gmail "Chat" appears on the left. Or, I can access my Gmail contacts and mouse over which opens a window to chat, email, or phone (I think). Interestingly, if your friends have a Mac and use iChat it will interface with Gtalk. Gtalk saves your conversations which is helpful, IMO.

    You are welcome. Let us know how you like Gtalk or if you have any additional questions.
