The only way to be available to some contacts and not others is to group your contacts and then choose to Permanently appear off line to the users you don't want to see you at that moment. What ever happened to being able to sign in as invisible and then click on specific contacts and choosing to appear online? I'm not too impressed. Although, despite the major invisibility shortcoming, the fact that there isn't any ads and other crap you don't need is nice.
