Awesome as usual. I've been waiting for the GTalk box to get in there with the other IM fields, so this was treat. Working perfect, and I'm glad you took the alt message suggestion - it looks much nicer.
Something you may wat to consider is where Google Talk is headed in the future. If our prayers are answered, Google Talk will open up to the Jabber community with Server-to-Server support and transports. This would mean, in short, abolishing every other instant messenging system you have.
If Google decides for Server-to-Server support, this becomes a Jabber client. And more importantly, an amazingly popular VoIP-enhanced Jabber client. They might even be thinking about adding PC-to-Phone calls.
IF such happens, this hack may just become general Jabber support for vB, instead of strictly Google Talk. Or you may wish to name the field Google Talk (Jabber).
