IMing...

I have been IMing for a few years now, ever since my daughter went to college. I guess you could say it was a necessity if I ever wanted to communicate with her! I have to say, I am glad I learned how to use it and feel I couldn't so without IMing at home! I use AIM, but am familiar with Meebo and Pidgin since we did use those here at the library. I like having an AIM account for the YS department and feel we should use it more between/within departments--we just haven't made it a regular practice as yet. I really have not used it with friends or other family members, so I did invite a few friends to chat with through my gmail account. Only one responded and we thought it might be a good way for us to "chat" with our little social group who we see every month. So we're going to try it out and see how it goes!
