Google Talk Tricks (you may never have heard them before!!!)

I suppose that Gtlak is the most popular chat application used these days. Most of us must be chating to atleast one person everyday in Gtalk. Once a friend told "Rony, I wish we could be unique while chatting in Gtalk". Atlast I have found a trick by which you could be really unique from others while chatting in Gtalk.

Here are some text formatting tips for Gtalk:

Bold Text- To make a text bold, place it between two asterisks. for example *This text will be bold*

Italic text- To make a text italic, place it between two underscores. for example _This text will be italic_


Here are some Gtalk Shortcuts:

Esc – Close current chat window
Alt + Esc – Close all chat windows
F9 – Open Gmail
F11 – Call
F12 – End current Call
Tab – Switch through the currently open chat windows
 
Here is a trick to show your deshipan (locality) in Gtalk (:P) Transliteration (Indic Languages):
 
You may be aware of Google Bots. Some of them help you to transliterate English to some Indian Languages. Below is a list of bots which can transliterate english into a particular Indic language. First of all add them to your Gtalk friend list. Now send them any text and then they will respond you back with the transliterated message. Be desi guyzz :)

     Languages                                                                Bots
English to Hindi                              en2hi.translit@bot.talk.google.com

English to Kannada                        en2kn.translit@bot.talk.google.com

English to Malayalam                    en2ml.translit@bot.talk.google.com

English to Tamil                             en2ta.translit@bot.talk.google.com

English to Telugu                           en2te.translit@bot.talk.google.com


Hare are some Gtalk Startup Parameters:

Gtalk allows users to add some parameters that can give it some extra functionality when it starts.

To use the parameters, just edit the Google Talk shortcut on your desktop, and add any of the following parameters after a slash(/) or just run GTalk adding these parameters at the end followed by a slash(/).

nomutex – Open more than one instance of GTalk at a time

checkupdate – Check for updates to the current version

factoryreset – Load default settings

diag – Run GTalk in Diagnostic Mode

mailto user@gmail.com – Send an email using GMail

Do More With Your Gtalk Now ... Enjoy :)

We all know that Orkut has now changed its code and restricted some of its features like saving anyone else's photo from his album to your computer. The new feature is good to save your own photos from any misuse. But you would be little worried if sometime you need to download a party or get together photo from your firends album and the blunder wont let you do it.

To help you in this issue I have again came up with a simple trick using firefox browser.

Follow the steps:
Step-1- Open Orkut in firefox browser and login with your username and password

Step-2- Go to the desired photo page in your friend's album which you want to download

Step-3- In firefox menu bar (see photo below) go to tools >> select Page Info >> select Media >> scroll Up/Down to get protected photos address >> select save as >> you are done , the image will be saved in your computer.






 


You may repeat the above steps to save multiple photos from same or different albums.

Enjoy !!!
