Google talk is an instant messenger where you talk directly to the other users, you don't use chat rooms. So you've just got to add your friends to your list.

All you need to do is add your gmail contacts to your buddy list (add them as contact type: Jabber) and you can chat with them the exact same way as you would any other IM contact. -Mike -- Michael E.
