If you’re like most people, you probably have different groups of friends. Now, with Google Chat in iGoogle, you can connect these friends by suggesting people they might already know, or who share their interests.
In addition, Google Chat will automatically suggest contacts we think you’ll be interested in, based on the people you email with the most (similar to what is currently done in Gmail). Suggestions will typically appear upon sign in (if available).
If you don’t want to receive contact suggestions, you can turn them off by clicking
Options, then clicking
Chat Settings, and clearing the
Display contact suggestion banners checkbox.
