hey thanks soo much..till now i thought i could use only meebo from linux....now i can have a google talk...but is ther any option where u can have the same to same google talk..as in something which doesnt open from a web browser..but independently??any help would be most welcome.
AFAIK.. there is no standalone application released yet for gtalk in particular, but yes we can configure it using pidgin or other jabber clients. Check out the link : Configure Pidgin for Gtalk.
But again, as I mentioned earlier it won't work since college has blocked each and every protocol other than HTTP. So the only way left is to have a separate Internet Connection.
