Google Talk Blue Bubble Status?

[jbhumph]

Ok, I tried looking around for an answer but can't seem to find one. Anyone know what it means when there's a blue status bubble on the google talk application? Does this mean that the person is chatting? I'm confused and you people is smart

Yeah I don't see an option to choose it but I have seen it on a friends profile....it's weird

Blue is Idle. If you look closely, you'll see a little teeny tiny clock in the middle of the dot.

You don't see it as a choice because it isn't a state you can set, it is automatic if you are Idle.

Ok, that makes sense. But if it's on the droid x when does this show up? When I pull up the app and then don't' touch it for a bit? I automatically change over? Why wouldn't it remain as "available" if I'm technically still logged in even after exiting the app?

Sorry for so many questions
