How to chat on google talk?

Google chat/Google talk - did my friend block me?

• How do you know when someone's blocked you on google chat or google talk? I think this person blocked me because previously, I could see their full name both offline and online, but now I just see them offline with front part of their email id (before @gmail.com) does this mean they blocked me?

• Answer:

  There is a instant messaging utility Pidgin that helps you to find out if someone has blocked you on Gtalk, Simply follow these steps; 1. Log in to your gmail account on Pidgin. 2. Go to Buddies option > Show > Offiline Buddies (A Persone who has blocked you must be showing offline to you. So you need to make all offline friends visible) 3. Now all your contacts are visible to you pick any one of those. 4. Right click on your chosen contant name and select Get Info. 5. It will show you the brief information of your contact. Now, if any of your contant has blocked you on gtalk then you will not be able to see her/his profile. In my opinition this is the best way to find out if someone blocked you on Gtalk.
