OK, I’m lame. I was really very happy when I got to combine my AIM account with my gTalk account. I have a bunch of friends who primarily use AIM, and I didn’t need to keep another program running. But, on the Chromebook, I couldn’t use AIM with the built-in Google Talk app. It constantly said my chats weren’t being sent. Simple solution after fun video.
The answer to this dilemma is exceptionally simple. Go to a new, blank tab. Click on the little wrench next to the Google Talk app and uninstall it. Then, you just need to keep Gmail open all the time.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to do that, you can use an online chat program like Meebo.
