Sometimes you need to chat with someone about an urgent project, but can't be bothered by anyone else. And going "busy" just isn't enough -- you might still get that unwanted ping. So, as some people have already noticed, invisible mode for the latest version of Gmail chat is out on last Friday. With this feature, you can appear offline, and still send and receive messages. If you're using AIM in Gmail, invisible mode also makes you appear signed out on the AIM network. Invisible mode is one of the most requested chat features and it will be available in all Talk clients.

As some of you have already noted, chat could be less useful if lots of people go invisible. We'll keep an eye on it and look for your feedback to be sure we're doing what's best for the community.

Though it may help in certain moments of desperation when u jus need to do ur wk and cant chat wit frens, its not useful when its ur turn to get help from someone. As it is ppl r busy enough to check mails etc and hardly do we catch each other online.....the invisibility mode makes it tougher .
