I was thinking about what you said about the GMail/non-GMail separation and that would work even better. That also stuck another idea in my head that maybe they should allow you to manually group your contacts and then you could appear offline just for a particular group.

That would almost give me the same satisfaction as being able to use multiple accounts but I think the multiple account solution would be the best.

Well, it isn’t really those people who are going to want to shift…

I’m in two minds about this. I like the idea of being able to talk to everyone on GTalk, but one reason I like GTalk is that there’s never anyone on it who I don’t want to talk to, or who bugs me. If anyone can sign up and add me (and maybe I would want to speak to them sometime) that factor of being swamped with contacts may rear its head again. The multiple account thing would be great, or just separate them into GMail and non-GMail at least.

So finally they are opening up…. interesting development.

Anyway, those using gmail will not shift I am sure.
