Well I am IMing again! I haven't done it for several years and two computers ago (one crashed and one fried by lightening).
I think IM is the granddaddy of texting. My daughter was really into it a few years ago and we listened to the nightly sounds of constantly chiming IM tones as she and her friends chatted endlessly about middle school minutiae. I even went so far as to ban IMing on my computer (I was in school) and got an el cheapo computer for her to use to keep her from burying my harddrive in spyware. When my computer crashed and I got a new one I swore I would NEVER EVER IM again. Somewhere in 9th or 10th grade my daughter discovered MySpace and her IMing days came to an end. I thought I had heard the last of IM and that the world had moved on. Well, you know what they say, "Never say never!"
So I am IMing again! At work and now at home. But hey, it's professional; it's my job!
