GTalk Won’t Stop Blinking
GTalk pisses me off because it won’t stop blinking. I decided to go complain on the internet because nobody in “real life” gives a hoot.
If you don’t know what Gtalk is, you can find it in your Google email account on the sidebar where it says “chat” (yes, very tricky). It’s really useful because it incorporates AIM into it so I can chat online with babes all day without ever needing to open an application — well, other than Firefox. The titlebar (or tab) of the browser blinks when you receive a new message. This feature is very handy so you don’t forget about your chat windows or you don’t waste precious time checking the tab or window every 13 seconds.
The issue at hand is the fact that the window or tab also blinks when you’ve already read your most recent messages. It sort of dilutes the usefulness of the original feature. Sadly, this hasn’t been fixed yet and it’s a bit depressing. The chat works very nicely other than that.
Google, you’re an embryonic rockabilly polkadotted fighter pilot! Silly Google!
