One of the most awaited feature is to set invisible status in gtalk. Just like yahoo messenger invisible status in gtalk will allow you to be online without being bugged by gtalk friends when you are at work or don’t feel like to be annoyed by your gtalk friends.
Although in Chat inside gmail you can set status to invisible, but not in GTalk.
There are two approaches to be invisible in google chat, lets discuss about both of them.
Using GTalk Labs Edition
Google Talk, Labs Edition is an experimental release of the Google Talk client. It has many of the same great features as the Google Talk Gadget, including instant messaging, emoticons, and group chat. Google Talk Labs Edition also includes new desktop notifications from Gmail, Calendar and Orkut.
You will need to first download gtalk labs edition, and install it.
Using PSI : Jabber Based Chat Client
Gtalk is Jabber based IM tool. Although Gtalk supports invisible mode on server side, Gtalk team did not include this function on client side which all of us are using. If you’d like to get that option that you will need to go back to Gtalk’s ancestors which is Jabber client. Some says “use Jabber client instead of crappy Google Talk client.” So you have the option of using PSI or Pidgin (originally gaim). You can download those clients from:
PSI: http://psi-im.org/
Pidgin: http://www.pidgin.im/

Always Idle in Gtalk
By the way there is a software using which you can set your status to idle permanently. This software is
galwaysidle, just download and install this software.
Hope these techniques will save you some time, and your so called friends will stop bugging you.
you can also find some extra features on the labs version of other Google products which allows you to make yourself invisible but it does not always override the gtalk client software if you have that installed
i cant understand how not putting invisible is even an option?there are some days you just want to chat with one person and dont need other disturbances,say at work.i like gtalk aside from the invisble thing,its one change they definitely need to make.ask yahoo.
