I tried it as a result of this article, and liked everything except the inability to scroll through the page with the mouse wheel. I sent a suggestion through regarding this request, simply because I thought the mechanism to do so was kind of need, but not expecting much from it in return. To my surprize, not only did Wes personally write me back to acknowledge the issue, he sent a follow-up message letting me know that scrolling with the mouse wheel was now possible. This couldn't have come at a better time, just as I was getting completely fed up with refreshing firefox a thousand times to fix the screwy columns on my google homepage.

However, the Gtalkr invitation process was partially broken before today's release. We added logic to re-invite people who previously may not have gotten the invitation. Since the solution we have in place is less than ideal, we'll remove that logic all together, and only have it send out emails when you using the invite dialog.
