Google Talk question - contacts

[slicksilver]

How do I keep my address contacts as they are not have them in my Google Talk list? I mean its okay to have the email addresses but I dont want people to know I'm online or not. This is not one user but all users. Im aware of Google Talk Labs Edition but I do not want to use that.

I want 5 users to know if Im online or not in a list of 100 email address contacts from the Gmail address book. How do I do this?

Thanks

In the Contacts section of Gmail, you can select whether or not an email address will appear in your Google Talk contacts. By default it's set to Auto.

Thank you for the reply.

Does that mean both of us will not be able to see see each other online too?

You may need to explicitly Block the user in order for him to not see your status.
