Creating and Managing Buddy Groups

As your Buddy list grows, you may want to organize your buddies into groups. iChat AV makes it easy to create your own groups and use the one predefined group called Buddies that comes with iChat AV. Once you have organized your groups, you can simply drag buddies from one group to another (). You can use the check boxes next to the group name to hide and display buddies in a group. If a group changes, you can rename it, or if you no longer need a group, you can remove it.
