Back near the turn of the century, I used IM a lot in the evenings. I spend less time on the computer now at night, but nowadays it would never occur to me. Everybody's on facebook if they're online, I assume - so if anyone wanted to chat, they could. It rarely happens.
Interesting how patterns of online communication change over time. Back in the day, I knew lots of people who regularly IM'd - my boyfriend at the time chief amongst 'em. But it seems that trend has disappeared for the people I know. Currently it's all twitter and facebook. Wonder what it will look like in another ten years.
