Yahoo messenger trick

If you ever think that someone is avoiding you by signing in as invisible. There is a way to find out whether a person is online or not.

You can find it by using Doodle IMvironment. Start an offline conversation with the contact and send them a dummy message. If they're actually online, this should open a conversation window on their machine.

Now, select the Doodle IMvironment from IMvironment > See All IMvironments > Yahoo Tools. If your contact is really offline, you'll see "Waiting for friend to load Doodle" for a really long time. If, however, your contact is online, the IMvironment should load in less than a minute and let you draw.
