How To Know Whether Someone Blocked You On GTalk

Many a times you must have noticed that a few of your contacts on GTalk haven't been online for quite some time. Ever thought that they might have blocked you for some reason? Would you like to find out who are those people who have blocked you on GTalk? Here's an easy way to do that.

Have you tried Pidgin yet? In case you have not, Pidgin is a chat client which allows you to chat across multiple networks simultaneously. What it means is that you can chat with your MSN, GTalk, Yahoo and other online buddies all at the same time from one single IM client. If you don't have Pidgin installed, you can download it's latest version from here.

Once you have installed Pidgin, add your GTalk account with it. Now all you need to do is click on Buddies, then Show and then click on Offline Buddies to view the contacts who are offline. Then right click on the contact who you think has blocked you and click on Get Info, when a Buddy Information box would pop-up on the screen with a his/her profile information. If that person had blocked you, the profile of that person would not appear inside the Buddy Information box.

So go ahead and find out who's been naughty with you on GTalk lately, or maybe it's the other way round.
