However, choose to put it otherwise. I am on invisible mode often and my close associates know that. Others think I am unavailable and shoot me an email instead :) Oops, I just made that public :) That’s true. However, choose to put it otherwise.

Just that the question mark is longer by a "busy"! But recently, I have resorted to something easier. I am eternally offline, unless I am totally jobless.

Applications, before opening a window (like chat messages, popups,) should first check the "public" state of the screen and hide them by giving a more discreet alert (if screen is shared). Or open on private screen instead(if public and private screens are different). That gives me an idea: Screen setup dialogs should allow to mark screens as “Public”.

As there is no immediate obligation to respond, guess DM works. I stay invisible in all IMs and most friends ping me through twitter DM first and then we take it up in IMs. This was after those embarassing moments in meetings (as most close friends start a conversation in India with a swear word :D) Guess, Twitter DM is the new IM.
