I waited til the end of last week to finish my web 2.0 "thing" of the week ... so this week I thought I'd get a jump on the instant messaging and do it right away. And thanks to a couple of kind and cooperative co-workers, I was able to successfully IM. Yay!! I even managed to share a YouTube video's url via IM.
I have done all this before on AOL... so I'm not being all that adventurous. But somehow all of this stuff seems a bit trickier when doing it as a project at work. Must be a version of test anxiety :-)
To answer the questions posed about this ... as I mentioned, I have used AOL instant messenger. I'd have to say I wasn't really surprised by anything on this one. My thoughts on IM as a mode of communication are that I think it's great! But then, I'm much more at ease talking to people via e-mail, etc. than in person. At least until I get to know them. I can definitely imagine it being useful in libraries for reference -- as mentioned in the article.

it's good to learn something new with a friend who has been with me from the beginning of all this new technology. Remember all those years ago when we were first using email? Have we known each other that long?
I don't have a comment on on your instant messaging blog. I admit I followed you here from thisandthat45. I saw your post about the Scot. Then I saw your list of favorite books. Have you seen the movie Mrs. Brown? There's a pretty fair Scot included in the cast.
Yes..I've seen "Mrs. Brown" a time or two. LOVE that one. I should add it to my list of favorite movies :-) Thanks for the reminder. I was trying to think of all the Scotland-related movies I've seen.
