3. Like I said, I haven't had a chance to try out a full conversation, but I believe the way it works is that when someone IMs me through the widget I get a gtalk message prompting me to open a url. Why not just channel the visitor's messages into a standard gtalk message window?
Anyway, you're right that it's an improvement over Meebo--I don't want to keep a browser window open all the time on the off chance that somebody is going to IM me from my blog. But I don't think it's quite there yet.
Also, while I'm here--Disqus is cool, but I believe it doesn't work with co.mments.com, which is how I keep track of comments I leave in various places. I guess I should just get over it, though.

I haven't had that happen. When someone starts a chat through the
widget, it pops up in a regular GTalk chat window in my Gmail. Maybe
it's different if you're using the GTalk standalone app.
