Galwaysidle.com - Be Idle, Be Available

Do you use Google Talk? Do you hate how everyone on your buddy list can track whether you are at or away from your computer? gAlwaysIdle allows you to have a little privacy. When you log into Google Talk, if you step away from your computer for a short period, your status is set to “idle.” Likewise, if you are at your computer but don’t wan to chat, there is no way to hide the fact that you are busy at your workstation. gAlwaysIdle is an application that allows you to mark your status as “always idle” or “never idle.” Simply download this entirely free software to your computer (which is Vista compatible) and get talking (or not).

“gAlwaysIdle adds two new options to Google Talk, allowing you to change your status to be 'always idle' or 'never idle'. When your status is set to 'always idle', you'll appear idle to your Google Talk buddies, even if you're sitting at your computer typing e-mails and sending IMs.”

gAlwaysIdle just makes sense- it improves Google Talk at no cost. It also has some brains behind the program- it was developed by a former Microsoft program manager.

Can other functions- such as “appear offline” be added?
