How To Do Multi-User Google Talk, Right Now

I’m sure there are Google Talk users who’d love to be able to sign into multiple Google Accounts at once, manage personal and business contacts seperately. Well, turns out you’ve always been able to, just by applying a command line switch. It’s pretty easy, just:

Create a new shortcut to Google Talk
Right-click and go into its properties
Add “/nomutex” to the end of the Target entry

Now, you can open as many instances of Google Talk as you’d like, logging into different accounts with each one. Look at the screenshots above, you can see me chatting (and arguing) with myself.
