Is Instant Messaging Dead?

Postby Alphanumeric » Sun Feb 19, 2012 10:30 am

Do you still use an IM client? Are all your contacts now on social networking sites? When was last time you used an IM client? When was the first time you used one? Which was your go-to? What will come after when FB, Twitter, Identica, etc all lose their flavour? Will they? What's next in line for communication?


I first used Windows Messenger in 2000. I never liked it at first, but it's interesting to see the progression of online communication. Some say it's been dead since 2010. I don't know why I find it disheartening.

I still use AIM and MSN. But the social networking sites have made things less dependent on IM since they inserted chat on facebook

I sign in about once a month now. I never liked it much, but I got to know some great people through it. I've never used FB chat, and don't think I will.

Beans, you come off really mellow and uninterested in the fabricated popularity of FB and the like. I'm not surprised :up:

Fah, I have an account with people on it from 12 years.

PO, I have an embarrassingly low number of contacts. None shall ever see it.
