Like you, I had quite a few 'friends' [most were people I didn't know in the real world, nor ever talk to] and about 2 or 3 actual friends spread across each different IM. When I was new to the internet, I did use them because everyone else was but now I'm older and wiser [I hope...] I don't bother. And when I open up MSN or Yahoo, I'm bombarded with friend requests from sleazy web cam sites and still people who I've never talked to before. It seems to be all about Facebook at the moment, which I have to admit I waste far too much time on doing nothing particularly constructive. Anyone care to join me? =) At some point or another, I have downloaded and tried pretty much all the major IM programs available and I have to say, I just don’t get the fascination.

I use aim, but not often. I only go on when I want to speak to a specific person that I know is already online or if I'm really, really bored and I want to see if there is anyone online to pass the time. I actually don't mind using IMs but a lot people I know don't bother with them anymore. I've never used Skype, so I'm going to have to give that a try. <abbr><em>Kiera’s last blog post..<a href="http://verbalism.org/2009/04/12/i-need-to-start-over-4-12-09/" rel="nofollow">I need to start over. | 4-12-09</a></abbr></em> I think people who use instant messaging the most are high schoolers.

I guess it became part of my online routine. But I haven't been talking to anybody there in ages. Probably just my boyfriend coz he's really not into stuff like Twitter or other social networking sites. But yeah I have to agree with you.. not much people are into chatting nowadays.

Still, I guess two is pretty pathetic compared to the EVERYBODY that it used to be! I don’t, but I still know at least two people who do.
