Disable Orkut + Google Talk integration

orkut_gtalk_integration

Google provides integration of Orkut & Gtalk for the following benefits:

  • Scrap notifications
  • Orkut friends are added to GTalk friends list
  • Your GTalk status is shown to your friends on Orkut

Now if Orkut + GTalk integration serve this much of benefits, then why would one want to disable their integration? Reason being that I am always most of the time online on GTalk and don’t use Orkut. I consider it as a time waster. I only use it to get in touch with friends but that is something that I am not into all the time. In such a case if any of my friends scrap me and I am busy in something or the worst case, I missed the notification, my friends think that I am ignoring them. Now thats the reason why I am considering disabling Orkut + GTalk integration.

Do you also find yourself in the same scenario? What you do in such a case? If you know of anything else that can be done in such a case then please share it with me & other readers in the comment.

    I disabled it a week after enabling. Reason: Privacy issues as you said.

    I think its option should be there in orkut account. As I want to change my google Id which is already integrated into the orkut account. For it I have to disable my all google application from the orkut So how can I do this.

    Actually I want to delete my all Google account and want to have new one which can be integrated into the orkut account. As googleID can’t be changed(is it right”)
