Hi folks
We added the option to chat with people who are not your friends (only if they want to chat)
To see / activate the new chat options, please follow the below steps:
1. Logout of glocals and then login again (you only need to do this once, not every time)
2. Click on the 'Chat' tab at the bottom of your screen. On the right side, you will see 'Who Can Chat With Me'
The default will be 'Only Friends', and you can change it to 'No One' or 'Everyone'
3. Go to the 'Members' page. People that are online and available for chat will have a 'Chat' icon on their profile. Click on this icon to invite them for a chat.
Thanks, and let me know what you think.

Several people asked me why so many people are shown as 'Busy'
To avoid unwanted chats, we made the chat default 'Only Friends Can Chat With Me' for everyone.
So people shown as busy either:
1. Don't want to chat with non-friends, so did not change their chat status from 'Only Friends Can Chat With Me'
or
2. Did not yet logout and login again to enable the new chat settings.
We will send out an email explaining the new chat settings tomorrow, so this should be sorted soon.
Thanks
