So, you want to be able to find all of your buddies on PokerStars and see what tables they are on and be able to go to the table. This is a PITA using the PokerStars interface because you can only search for one person at a time and if you choose a table then you have to repeat the process all over again if the player is playing at multiple tables and you want to go to a different table.
Well I found a script that will do all of this automatically for you using Auto Hot Key. I have put all of the files you will need in a zip file. I have also included a list of all the ChipTalk players from this past quarter of play in the Thursday tourneys. You can add/delete players as you wish.
You can also integrate this script with your PokerTracker postgresql database. I have not done this and I don't know how...
All of the original instructions are here:

Chuck's Simple Instructions:
1. Download the zipped files from me.
2. Extract the folder and files to a directory of your choice.
3. From the extracted files, Install Auto Hot Key.
4. Open PokerStars and Log In
5. From the extracted files, double click on StarsBuddyList.ahk
6. From the new window that opens click on refresh, depending on network speed and size of the list it could take 20-30 seconds.
7. If anyone on the list is playing it will list who and what tables.
8. From there you can double click on the table and it will open that table, if it is a tourney it will open the tourney lobby.
9. To add/delete/edit the players list, click on 'Edit Buddies'. This will bring up a Notepad/Wordpad window with all of the players on the list. From there you can add/delete/edt, don't forget to save the notepad file when you have finished editing.
Basically all the script does is automate the task of checking for buddies using the pokerstars 'Find Player' function. The list of players I created are CT players but you could create a different list of names and make a 'fish' list too. Just make sure you name the the new list something different than buddies.txt
Enjoy!
