    Yahoo! and MSN IMs allow for setting different status messages for different groups or buddies. Are you looking for something more/different. Are you looking for an ability to set the values programatically? I guess I am missing what is it that you are looking.

    Aswath, I never used Yahoo IM neither MSN, but I use their networks in other clients. If this is a network capability, it's a very good thing which I was not aware of, if instead it's only a proprietary client to client feature, it's not enough. I'll try Yahoo on my mac and see if they provide what I mean. Thanks

    Aswath, I just installed Yahoo Messenger for Mac but can't find the option you mentioned. Any tip?

    CTRL+mouse click on a name of a group or friend will give you a popup window and one of the choices is Stealth settings.

    Oh I realize now my mistake. You are asking for more detailed status setting rather than just "Appear offline". Sorry about that. In Y! you can only set a custom status globally. For what you want to do, you can try EnThinnai. :-)

    I think we're going to have to get used to communicating asynchronously more often than in real time. IM is near enough real time of course.

    We're probably going to want to use tools that expose the conversation on a one to many basis, rather than one to one...like blogs for example.

    And we have more to do, and no more time in a day - and so our availability is going to reduce. QED. More booking conversations in advance!
