Managing Your Friends List
Your Google Talk Friends list contains the friends you've invited to become
friends or whose invitations you've accepted in Google Talk. Friends can
invite each other to chat in Google Talk and see each others' online status in
Google Talk and other applications, such as in Gmail.
The Google Talk Friends list is sorted by your friends' online status: active
chats, online, busy, away, and offline. Within each grouping, friends are
listed alphabetically.
