Find who is invisible in gmail chat (Gtalk)
Many people already blogged about this article. I made the same experiment. It works.
If you want to find say xyz@gmail.com is invisible or not.
Open your gtalk app and type this email address in top search textbox
Click the profile, it opens in new window as usual
Click on the down arrow button in the top right corner of the window, and you can see Go off the record link there.
And type any chat, say “hi”
You will get a red text showing the “person is offline , can’t receive the message right now ” implies the person is offline
If this message does not appear, it means the user is invisible

Hi,
A friend me that trillian has a plugin that shows which users are in invisible mode. I was just wondering whether there could be a similar one for pidgin. I have not been successful in finding one online.
Anything, anyone?

How to go invisible in Pidgin?
This is totally my personal opinion and you are free to comment the way you want.
I am myself a person who strongly opposes being invisible in chats like GMail or Yahoo! chat. But the reason why I am writing this is simple.
Off late, being invisible has become a craze (we call it “scope” in local slang
). This is no less than doing things in “STEALTH”. When we ask people who usually do things in stealth like this, the reason they give are “There are too many distractions. There simply too many people doing non-sense things and just ping because they are jobless”. These are the kind of responses we get. I agree that Invisible chat is indeed needed for these reasons. May we all have personal life and will have important work, where in we don’t want ourselves to be distracted.
But these days some people always do things in stealth, whatever may be the situation. Oh, they have so much work? I never knew that they are the only people who have so much of work to do. They do it all the time and that too they don’t want to be distracted all the time. Ohoh, I did not even know that, all those people who do not do things in stealth don’t have work at all, as if!!!
I still cannot believe the above fact. The whole point here is that, those people who will be in stealth will be knowing whats happening in open. But people in open donot know otherwise. Just imagine what might be happening. How can we trust people who are stealth? They are like people who “Attack From Back”. How can seriously trust those people? We don’t know what they do at any moment. First of all its better to stay away from such kind of people, I feel personally.
Just imagine what may happen if everyone starts doing things in stealth. We just lose trust of everyone. No one trusts anyone else and a sort of cold war builds and we know the end. It just reminds me of a dialogue from Uppi’s movie where he says, (warning: its in Kannada), *Aavanu ivana namballa, ivanu avana namballa, ottinalli neev yaaru uddara aagalla*. Meaning one person doesn’t believe in the other, and the other person doesn’t believe in this person, finally no one of you achieve anything.
But anyways after reading all these, if you still want to do things in stealth, here is how you can do for GMail chat in Pidgin. Note, the invisible status in Pidgin simply doesn’t work in Pidgin for GMail chat.
1. Open the Buddy List.
2. In the menu, Tools->Plugins. Enable XMMP Console. Close the Plugin Window
3. In the menu again, Tools->XMMP Console->XMMP Console.
(See if your account in which you want to go invisible is selected if you have multiple accounts. )
4. In the text box, put the following XML snippet
{{{
5
5
}}}
and then press enter.
5. Done this is it. If this is not working on your version, now try changing the status to Invisible.
Finally, if you want to reset the above settings. Follow the same procedure but make in the above XML snippet.
tried->success !!
Great work !!!

One can remain invisible to a specific user in gtalk:
By blocking anyone for chatting, irrespective of your status, you appear as ‘offline’ to all those users whom you have blocked…
This isnt exactly as invisible…. cuz you cannot receive chats from blocked users…
but still, you can avoid chats with them…
hey gr8
geniously geniousest genious
wow wow wow
yar main hamesha sochta tha ki pata nahi aisa kyu hota hai ki kabhi msg kro to red wali line nahi aati hai par kabhi aa jati hai bad m maine socha ki shayad system erro hoga koi par aaj mujhe poata chala woh to khurafati dimago ke dimag ka error hota hai
chalo koi ni bhai KEEP IT UP!!!!!! lagey raho…………………
wat about gmail. i am not asking abou gtalk. i am asking abt gmail. the persons can be invible in gmail also na then how can we find
I have only Gmail for Chat, don’t have Gtalk.
May I know that who who has blocked me ?
Cant you find out without sending message to that person?
after setting the chat off the record will the person get my message after he comes online
No, if the person is not online, he does not get your message if it is off the record

hey,,u better find sumthn of your own…i c the same trick in many websites.besides,this is not sum programming trick.u present it like u invented sumthn.be genuin.
I don’t understand whether this people think about the thing said or not. If the xyz@gmail.com is offline then gmail will say that xyz is offline.But when xyz logs in then…he will have a mail that sonso person sent u “hi” while u are offline….then xyz will think that that u are tracing him….???? So think of some different idea such that xyz will never ever know if u are tracing him……..
@thinker, please check the first line of this article, “Many people already blogged about this article. I made the same experiment”
I never said I invented this, I tried and it works, so I posted
Let’s try this with you..
google has fixed all the bugs related to this
This didn’t work for me…I did an experiment with my friend and i had her go invisible, then i chatted her, then i had her go offline, then i chatted her, and go visible and i chatted her…. none of them had the red “this user is not on” or something…i have seen it before but it is never consistant. When she went offline, it did the same thing as normal.
it is not working dude,
Hi Joya you are wrong. The below site program works perfectly with its updated version “Udghosh”.
