E-Mail vs Instant Messages

[MonteLDS]

Does anyone here ever use that anymore for non-bussiness reasons?

Ever since the IM, and unlimited internet use I have found e-mail to have less value except for in bussiness.

I never email any of my friends I just wait till they come online. Maybe I just never have anything important to say....

Here I go rambling on about a topic that has little impact on most of our lives.

[Alejandra]

Not al of my friends use ICQ or other chat systems, but most of them and I are in a email list (yahoogroups).

I use ICQ, MSN Messenger and iChat (AOL) systems to talk to 2 or 3 people on a daily basis, one of them is my spouse.

[BuddhaTB]

I still e-mail my friends from time to time, especially when I don't see them on AIM.

[aviationwiz]

If they aren't online, or don't use an IM program, I email them.

[hoxlund]

since some of you use 2 or more IM programs, have you checked out trillian?

www.trillian.cc

[dodecahedron]

i've heard some say trillian is the best IM proggy around...

[aviationwiz]

Trillian is the best IM program, by far.

[hoxlund]

[dodecahedron]

Since there is no mac version yet, I use ICQ, Ichat, and MSN Msgr. but sometimes I use Adium or Proteus (trillian alike prog).

[hoxlund]

Trillian Pro
Nero 6 Ultra Edition(bought to copy movies)
DVDFab(used to copy movies)

Good use of the new emoticons.

[aviationwiz]

I remember, he actually did buy Trillian, along with the other software titles mentioned, I was shocked when I first heard that he bought Trillian as well.

[dodecahedron]

i'm appalled that CDRecorder doesn't say something about this.

[Alejandra]

A corollary of this topic, does any of you use SMS mobile phone messages? or MMS?

[dodecahedron]

i do just a little bit, with the wife, when she's in a meeting and can't talk.

SMS. not MMS.

SMS. not MMS.

Talking about coincidences, me too, I send her some SMSs when I can't connect, like in traffic or bad GPRS signal.

Do you know new phones had emoticons too?


Yeah, my scanner is not good enough, I bet Cfitz can make the image look better.

[hoxlund]

I have the SonyEricsson T610 (also have a T68i), and she has the Z600.

[dodecahedron]

i don't think my Nokia 6100 has that.
i can enter pics into the MMS but there's no emoticons built in.

We discovered eventually, she send me :-X in a message like in ICQ and my phone displayed the kiss emoticon, then later she found more emoticons directly with the insert symbol option, but they are characters actually.

[pranav81]

I think Nokia phones dont have emoticons built in them,not yet.Nokia may come up soon with models having the same though.


::Pranav::

[Bhairav]

Nice! I've just started using MMS on my Nokia 3530, no emoticons yet, though. I'm going to download YahooMessenger for my phone, let's see if it works.
