Googletalk Status



Thought I'd post re how I got the Google talk status thingy working on the side bar. This was stupidly simple ( after excessive googling that is ). Its easy because of a guy called Nathan Fritz has written a jabber bot called Edgar. The bot adds its self to your Googletalk contacts list, ( this is so it has visibility of your status ) then you can query the PHP status script at the Edgar site.

i.e. for my side bar I have just added the code ( can you call it code ? ) below :
<li>Someone<b><?php readfile("http://edgar.netflint.net/status.php?
jid=someemail@gmail.com/talk&type=text"); ?></b></li>

  1. erm, I've never seen the point of these as if someone needed to talk to me via google talk they would be at a pc that had the google talk features anyway... so what am I missing? I log onto my email, there's details there... I'm missing something aren't I? But what is it?
