week 9- Instant Messaging

Talk about your IM experiences on your blog. Tell us what you think of Instant Messaging; Do you like it?
I like to discuss and send messages, however the down side to it is speaking without the facial and body language to accompany it. And more importantly speaking/ writing without thinking. It is best to give some things time to think and reflect before responding.

What concerns do you have using a tool like Instant Messaging? Has it changed the way you work at all? It has not changed much yet but think it will, as more and more colleagues connect and become tech users.

From 23 Things KS
Common IM shorthand -
* LOL – Laugh out loud. Also: ROFL (rolling on floor laughing)
* ty, yw – Thank you, and you’re welcome. Also tyvm (thank you very much), np (no problem), and yvw (you’re very welcome)
* j/k – just kidding
* bbl – be back later. Also ttyl (talk to you later)
* afk – away from keyboard (most commonly used in the middle of a chat when you need to leave your desk for just a moment)
* For those of you really interested, here is a much more comprehensive list

Sharing and Productivity
* Discussing projects without leaving our desks.
* Quick communication with co-workers
