# Using a Google Talk Gadget for your Domain

I have found that I am increasingly relying on [Google Talk](http://www.google.com/talk/) to get things done quickly. It is like I have been thrust right back into my days with [AIM](http://www.aim.com/) (8th grade was a big year for me in that regard). I just wanted a way to only have Google Talk as an application for Google Apps. Google has an application for Windows, but I am using a single site browser in order to do it on a Mac.

Step 1: Download [Fluid](http://fluidapp.com/)

Step 2: Create an application with the following URL (making sure to replace YOURDOMAIN with your domain): [http://hostedtalkgadget.google.com/a/YOURDOMAIN/talkgadget/client](http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://hostedtalkgadget.google.com/a/YOURDOMAIN/talkgadget/client%3F&usg=AFQjCNG12GrCDBALvNAdeOVyKv1-l96etw)

Viola! You have an Google Talk Application that connects specifically to your domain.
