I’m not going to even lie, I LOVE FACEBOOK CHAT!!! I think it was one of the best things created! (Just thought I would throw that in there) But anyway is Facebook chat the new instant messenger? What happen to AOL, or Yahoo? People are not using AOL or Yahoo anymore because Facebook chat as so much more to offer in terms of being able to be on a social network, and chatting at the same time. When I have talked to people I know who use it, one of the main reasons they like it so much is because they don’t have to download any software from a website, the chat just with the web browser. I think that’s the best feature. Another good thing about using the chat is you can set it so that people can’t send you messages if you don’t feel like being bothered. We have come to a point in technology were we don’t want to talk face-to-face, or we don’t want to talk on the phone, “instant messaging,” is the new way to communicate, I think that could be a valid reason why people enjoy texting so much. I think in the past people got excited to talk on the phone because it was still new, and not everyone had one, but I think as time has gone on, people get happy to text and chat, because it’s still new, and everyone can do it!
I like facebook chat in doses! sometimes it can get annoying but it is def nicer to have everyone on one network than having to be on AIM or gchat while on facebook too. I have not been on AIM much over the past couple years but because facebook chat is just there I use it! If you do not have someone's number to text it is convenient and you do not always have to take the time to write them out a whole message.
