Gtalk (Google Talk) does not offer any option to find other Google Talk users, unless you know Gmail address of other users. Gtalk profile provide an alternative to quickly find other Gtalk users.
It plots users on the map (by countries, states, cities) for easy view and browsing. You can click through region of your choice and discover new Gtalk friends.
You can also use search box to narrow down on a specific region of your choice. You can track the activity on the map and search for new Google Talk users. Very nice way to expand your chatting circle with Gtalk Profile.
