Managing your Friends list
Your Google Talk Friends list contains the friends you’ve invited or accepted
invitations from to become friends in Google Talk. 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 and Maps.
The Google Talk Friends list is sorted by your friends’ online status: active chats,
online, busy, and offline. Within each status group, friends are listed alphabetically.
If your keyboard is open, you can type letters to view only friends with matching
names.
