Distance is no longer a barrier and the gap has been bridged. We have friends and family close by, and far away and instant messengers have really brought people together; either with people we know, or we use these programs simply to meet new people Which instant messaging programs do you prefer to use and why? What are the advantages/disadvantages you've encountered? Which one is easiest for you to use? Perhaps you don't use an instant messenger, and/or don't know how and you prefer the old fashioned route, called the telephone You may choose from more than one of the options given above, and you are more than welcome to discuss those that haven't been included (really because the topic starter may not know about their existence lol and doesn't mean to exclude them). Have fun --------------------

I would never get off the thing, and it really improved my touch typing skills (thanks to friends who were infinitely faster than I was). Now, I've kind of left the whole online messaging thing behind, namely because I prefer longer emails. And things like Facebook. But old-fashioned letters still make me smile, they're like an old friend who's just popped in for a visit. I'm pretty much the same (in terms of using facebook and sending long emails) however I still use msn quite a lot. I have a couple of friends from Perth and some family in Serbia who I talk to a lot. Msn is so easy and quick to access.. I love it! I haven't tried using any other Instant Messaging programs, however I have heard that Skype is really good. -------------------- I want you to get his true memory.

Being Eaten by the Pea Soup Posts: 21 Joined: 4:50pm February 1, 2009	Mainly Msn because everyone has an msn account and i like using my own emoticons. But lately i also use Skype, but not as much as i would like, since i have only two contacts and i haven't tried the camera chatting thingy yet. But it seems pretty nice and you can even call people on their phone. What i don't like about Skype though, it's that anyone can try to add you so you and up with requests from completely unknown people and most of the times are people with..., well lets say perverted intentions.

Only occasionaly I use emails But the list of options: I do never ever use half of them, the other half I just dont what they are. Well, I use text messages on my cell phone, thats the other option, but on internet I just have full time ocupied in more interesting things to do than chats. -------------------- Michael Jackson: Long Live the King!! ***************** You scared me half to death...**

Getting Fitted for New Dress Robes Posts: 46 Joined: 11:46am June 12, 2008 Location: Hufflepuff Common Room	Well I used to talk on the phone all the time, but then I got a cell phone and so I usually text people when I need to contact them. I was never really into the whole IM and messenger trend. -------------------- It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live Well, I don't know how to break this to you, but I think they might have noticed we broke into Gringotts Avatar thanks to Hagiographer13
