I wish everyone had IM on most of the time. I would rather riff over IM than on phone for most casual communications. I do find it strange when an IM goes to a mobile phone.
The problem with IM, like cell phones, is that people get annoyed if you don’t turn on, or don’t respond. Just the other day I got an email from someone that was pissed that I didn’t turn on my IM client. Lame. I shouldn’t have to feel like I need to be immediately accessable to any person that thinks they need to reach me.
IM is destroying America.
Whatever happened to people talking face to face?

Hey.
It’d be great if you could send me an invite?
Can’t find many people who give them away anymore, i appreciate your generosity.
Cheers
