What is a pending friend?
A pending friend is a user who is one-step away from joining your Gbridge network, just pending his/her (not your) approval. You can remove him/her from the pending friend list anytime you want. A Gtalk/Gmail/Gbridge user becomes your pending friend after you have explicitly sent him/her a Gbridge or Gtalk invitaion. Base on some Google’s internal Gmail rules, Google (NOT Gbridge) may decide to make a user as a pending friend of you if you have exchanges some emails with that user, even without an explicit invitaion from you. You can disable those rules if you want. Please note that Gbridge doesn’t use or have any control over those Google internal rules. Gbridge NEVER automatically sends any invitation without your explicit instruction.
