I believe this one will be an interesting post, although I can assure you that the ones that follow will be just the same if not more. The idea was brought up to my mind through a friend I had just met in the oh so many other socializing websites known to the public in general. After the second shared message he invites me to add him to an online instant messenger which I really have nothing against those since I actually use one from time to time.
My main concern is as follows: Is it not amazing how long your contact list is and you actually don't even say a hello to more than 90% of the people there, yet you carelessly keep on adding more and more making the list almost endless? I mean, why even bother adding them if you're not going to talk to them again? Because really once you add that person to your very filled contact list he will be lost into nothingness after that first chat which will be the first and probably the last you'll ever have.
There is also the people you add and later on as your conversation goes on you find that they turn out to be annoying little turds! Hence completely ignoring them next time you see them online because of course you don't want to delete them it would make your list shorter! That is like some sort of accomplishment I guess, to have that list long and thick full with people you barely know or talk to.
Another assortment of pricks who ought to be deprived of their sexual organs are those who want to use web cam only to ask you to make a live porno for them and have them jerk off for you to see. Really, what ever happened to getting to know each other and making friends online? Isn't that why IM was for in the first place? But no, now we have our oh so famous sexual predators. And again people don't delete them because that would make the list shorter.
So, I tell my friend this: "Why not resort to just simple E-mailing?" Is it not more exciting to have each other waiting for the other to message back? I believe it is! You just can't wait to get your ass down comfortably in front of your PC and search your e-mail account for that return message. It's like a little kid who has received candy and can't wait to open it, or the first time you rode a bike, or the first time you ever got laid! It really is exciting to be waiting for that kind of thing.
This leads to my other question, why have pointless instant messaging when you can have interesting, intriguing e-mail exchange? I believe it will lead to better relationships and less forgetfulness on both parties. At least you'll know what kind of interest that other person has on you and how far they are willing to take it. Also you'll always have something new to say to each other and not have those awkward long silences that Instant Messaging brings which later you will blame it on something exterior like "Sorry, my mom called me." Trust me I know, I've used it!
Excuses, excuses. They truly are a very useful mankind invention. I mean how else would we get out of very tight and/or awkward situations? They are useful indeed.
And this my friends are the many Wonders of Instant.
