The following conversation is from a facebook chat that happened moments ago with a former student who is a college freshman:
4:35pmMike
i like the facebook chat feature that allows me to talk to you like this
4:36pmBill
cool
I didn't know anybody uses this feature.
It's a lot like the old AIM
4:37pmMike
haha yes it is!
4:37pmBill
Do you chat with lots of other folks or just write on their walls?
Mike
I use this chat a lot more often than writing on other peoples' walls
I usually only write on the wall if someone writes on mine first
Or if it is someone's birthday
as I see yours is on
Thursday
4:39pmBill
What about the What are you doing right now? part...use it much? It seems like it's very similar to Twitter.
4:40pmMike
yeah i use that sometimes
a lot of people use that
4:43pmBill
for sure!
So this chat thing...can you include more people if you want to?
4:44pmMike
you could talk to more people if you wanted, but say if you, me, and mrs were all on we would not be able to have a 3 way conversation
4:45pmBill
So you have to have separate chats for each person.
4:45pmMike
Yes
4:45pmBill
ok...too bad
4:45pmMike
it is pretty much the facebook version of aim
Bill
sounds like AIM was a bit more advanced
4:46pmMike
think so?
4:46pmBill
I remember that we could have 4 or 5 different people altogether in a chat with AIM
Mike
o yeah thats right
i forgot all about that
4:47pmBill
Great talking wtih you. I should get back to class. I'm actually doing my homework right now in class, but now I have something to blog about!
Thanks for responding so quickly!
