Google Blogoscoped has published some Google Talk Tips - here is a couple of them:

‘Certain smileys, like or :-(, are recognized by Google Talk and will turn blue.

You can change the font size of the chat window, even though Google says you can’t. It worked for me by focussing either read- or write-pane, then clicking the scrollwheel, then scrolling it up or down.’

Google Rumors has some Google Talk tips too:

‘Insert linebreaks - If you want to have a message that spans multiple paragraphs, just hold shift and hit enter. You can add as many new lines as you want to create.

Style text - Also noted by a GoogleRumors commenter, you can make text either bold or italic by surrounding it with * or _. (Example: _this_ is italic.)’
