Chatting

I have facebook, skype, msn, gmail chat, a myspace and have used irc in the past. The thing I noticed is I use all of these to communicate differently. For example I use my gmail chat almost exclusivly for business, the myspace for networking with other DJs and musicians, the skype to talk with friends mostly based in Europe, and Facebook to keep up with my friends back in NZ.

They all have advantages, and the functions and appearance seem to suit each kind of communication - probably because of the way I have been using them. The opportunities that have opened up with this new instant form of communication is really beneficial and I wouldn't like to imagine a world without them!
