QUESTION: Why does GTalk MAKE NO SENSE?

Why can I not tell the chat thingummy that I want to know when someone is online so as to initiate conversation with them? Why do I have to send them a chat invite in order to have them on my "like to talk to them" list? They're in my address book, but they don't show up in my--whatever you call it, the equivalent of a Buddy List. Why NOT? I do not want to send them ten million chat invites when they are offline. I want to KNOW when they COME online.



GRRRRR.



ETA: Lord only knows what I've done to any or all of the people I was trying to figure out GTalk with. So, if I accidentally sent you a nuclear missile...sorry?

I think they have to have enabled Goolge Talk at their end as well. So if they haven't, you need to invite them. Once they've accepted it, I think they show up like on any other Buddy List.
