It allows you to flag a contact and be notified when that contact is available for chat, so you can move on to something else and not have to worry about checking every few minutes whether that contact is online. Here's what it looks like in Pidgin: http://blog.shankarganesh.com/2007/06/24/pidgin-notification-when-a -buddy-comes-online/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/656900/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
