Just an update on the microblogging site I set up.  I was able to get XMPP support.  That means that I can post by sending an Instant Message to an account on my server.  So here are the instructions to post to your profile from google talk.  There are only a couple of requirements.

Prerequisits

1. A google account so you can use google talk.  A gmail account should already be set up for that.
2. An account on my micro blog at micro.notsopc.com
3. An IM client.  I use Pidgin for mine since it supports all of the IM services (including google talk.

Steps

1. Open Pidgin
2. Setup your google talk account
3. Add update@notsopc.com as a buddy to your account.
4. Log in to your account on micro.notsopc.com
5. Click Settings
6. Click IM
7. Enter your google talk user name
8. Click Add
9. After a minute or so you should get a message from update@notsopc.com with a link.  Follow the link

That should be all.  You should be able to send a message to update@notsopc.com and have it show up in your profile on the site.
