That Google Talk module they just introduced...
http://www.google.com/talk/

Why dont they all show up in my contact list?

It's limited to showing ten contacts because of the (fixed) height of the module. Is that what you meant?

no, it just showed one person offline..and didnt even show the people online, two of which I was IMing with at that moment.
