Windows Live is dead

There's a Google talk setting to stop integration with your circles, then it won't add anyone unless you do it explicitly.

Where is this setting? I don't see anything about Circles in any of the Google chat settings.

On the plus page, on the chat section, click the down arrow next to your name, select "privacy settings" in the dropdown and uncheck everything. Voila, no more people.

Thanks. After selecting "Privacy Settings", you need to select "Custom" if "Circles" is currently showing for "Choose who can chat with you". Then it will show all the checkboxes. Mine showed up unchecked at this point, and a "Save" of this dialog removed everyone from my chat list (and I use psi on the desktop).

Thanks.

Ah, mine was set to "Custom" too but I wasn't sure if it was significant. Glad it worked for you!
