"Ambient awareness", or, I was just thinking that...

With my phone, texting/twittering a message is really not feasible with its regular keypad. By the time I type all that crap (and I refuse to use "net speak" abbreviations), I can just call the person if it's that important.

I love my friends and all, but quite frankly, I don't care what they're doing every single minute of the day.

It's also the reason I hate IM's. I don't want to have to say, "BRB. Gotta go pee." and then rush back because I left someone waiting. Usually when I'm online, I don't want to be disturbed and like to respond at my leisure.

I just don't want to spend hours continuously chatting online. I'd rather be face-to-face with people when I'm feeling social.
