Two of these statuses have additional functionality. The \emph{Invisible} status lets you see which of your contacts are online, but does not allow them to see that you are online. The \emph{Offline} status logs you out entirely; you will not be able to see which of your contacts are online, nor can they see you or chat with you.

The same drop-down list lets you set a custom status by choosing ``Custom Message\ldots'' next to the icon that matches your status. Enter what you would like your status to say, and click on the green check mark.

The second method is to click the \button{Messaging Icon} on the menu bar, as shown in figure~\ref{ss:03-emp-open-from-menubar}. From this menu, you will see all of the same options that \application{Empathy} presents, but accessible without having to open Empathy.

Desktop sharing is a very nice feature available with Ubuntu. It can be used for a lot of purposes, like troubleshooting, online meetings, or just showing off your cool desktop to your friend. It is very easy to get remote desktop sharing working between two Ubuntu machines.
