Feeling chatty?

MSN used to be my main one. Nowadays I think more people are talking to me over FB chat or Google Chat/Jabber (which hooks up to andrew@ducker.org.uk).

I just don't use chat. I don't play WoWC or other MMORGs, and my closest friends don't seem all that interested in chat.

It probably has to do with age. Chat seems to appeal to younger people, (teenagers in particular.) Maybe it's my age, or the culture I come from, but I'd rather have a conversation.

I have conversations on IM all the time!

That's true. You can actually converse on IM.

I did it a bit years ago, but most of my friends just don't use IM or text messages, (which I'm thankful for because I don't like dealing with text messaging.)

I don't tend to use the phone for casual chatting - I tend to only use it when I have something to say, or when phoning my parents. Otherwise I feel like I'm intruding.

And most of my friends live a fair distance away, so meeting up is tricky to chat to most of them.
