I know these kinds of things are available but I'm highly suspect of software from people that purport to allow you to snoop on other people... what's to say that the software isn't also snooping on you.. i.e.-spyware. Here is Buddy Spy which purports to do this. http://www.buddy-spy.com/ Once again, download at your own risk and/or do a LOT more research to see if there is any spyware associated with these kinds of software downloads and don't take the word of the software company.
Something else that I saw was if you open your Yahoo Mail account with the same ID as you use for YM, then click on the contacts tab and scroll through your contacts. Often, while someone may have themselves showing as invisible in YM, they still have their main Yahoo Preferences set up to show them as online in other Yahoo services. Unfortunately, you can only show 25 contacts at a time in Yahoo Mail so if you have a lot, you need to go through page by page. I do not see a way to sort the Yahoo Mail contacts as to who is online or not. My attitude is that is someone is invisible from you, why do you really want to chat with them. You can still send them an IM, whether they are online or offline or invisible and they can choose to either reply or not.
