If you wanted to post your Google Talk ID on a site and display an icon that shows your status, it's quite easy. Google offers
a chatback feature for anonymous conversations with the visitors of a site and this feature has been recently updated with
more ways to display the badge.
To get your presence icon, go to the
badge generation page,
select "Hyperlink and status icon (no frame)" from the list of styles,
click on "Update badge" and copy the code in a text editor. You should
identify a URL that looks like this (the bold part could be removed to
simplify the address):
http://www.google.com/talk/service/badge/Show?
tk=LIST_OF_CHARACTERS

image could be displayed next to your Google Talk username to show
whether you are available for chat. Obviously, if you like the chatback
feature, you could add the entire code generated by Google.
