not using. evar.

4/8/2008 10:21:58 AM

sweet

something else i wont use

4/8/2008 10:22:03 AM

hoping it wont be blocked at my work

4/8/2008 10:23:13 AM

maybe i'm too old or something but i don't understand why you would need this.

4/8/2008 11:04:12 AM

$15 billion

4/8/2008 11:15:29 AM

Ok when is everyone going to understand that unless aim does something horrible none of these are ever going to catch on.

4/8/2008 11:38:25 AM

I kind of use facebook like a messaging program anyway with a few of my friends because we don't have AIM installed at work.

4/8/2008 11:57:01 AM

^^
I prefer Gmail chat over anything

4/8/2008 11:58:40 AM

I dunno about your group of friends str8bacardi but we're pretty much abandoned AIM

during the day if we message at work, gTalk is pretty popular

4/8/2008 11:58:58 AM

it already launched. it's only active in a couple ivy league university networks however. we prolly won't see it for a few days

but yeah, i'm def not gonna keep facebook open in a tab all day. i'll stick to gmail w/ integrated aim

[Edited on April 8, 2008 at 12:23 PM. Reason : until gmail added aim support, i hadn't used aim regularly in years]

4/8/2008 12:23:01 PM

and now, due to this, my work has blocked facebook website.

""Facebook is a platform that allows people to connect in much deeper and more visceral ways than a standalone IM client ever could," he said. "Why just talk to someone when you can experience them? That's what Facebook allows people to do.""

what a fag

4/9/2008 11:58:47 AM

I'd blow Mark Zuckerberg for a piece of the pie

4/9/2008 12:00:36 PM

you would

4/9/2008 1:14:54 PM

i'm sure he's fine being called a fag when he has more money than anybody on here will ever have

4/9/2008 2:10:44 PM

^
it wasn't Zuckerberg that said that ^^^^

I called him a fag on the basis of his stupid quote

4/9/2008 3:16:07 PM

chat is live for me now

4/23/2008 12:18:54 PM

It alright.

4/23/2008 12:19:37 PM

i've already pretty much transitioned out of using AIM b.c of facebook. might as well have facebook chat to complete the transition.

facebook= death of AIM

oh that's nifty

they'll have to add a firefox plugin that adds the facebook messaging bar to the bottom of all the browser windows

4/23/2008 12:24:34 PM

FACEBOOK IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD

4/23/2008 12:25:31 PM

it's kind of annoying actually. cuz depending on what browser you use, the little icon thing floats around on your page when you scroll.

4/23/2008 1:38:38 PM

yeah i hate it..

4/23/2008 2:05:54 PM

who cares? I've been using google chat for years.

4/23/2008 3:39:39 PM

(want a cookie... we all have)

4/23/2008 3:41:29 PM

google chat was good

then it got awesome when it added aim

i only have 3 or so people i chat with out of 190

so until facebook adds a bedpan app, i'm good as is

4/23/2008 5:02:04 PM

^
I'd piss on Facebook

4/23/2008 5:03:15 PM

it is scary to see how many people are on fb all day... including myself of course

*Poke*

4/23/2008 5:09:12 PM

where the snorlax did this come from?

4/23/2008 5:12:03 PM

Pretty soon Facebook will decide what you eat for breakfast

4/23/2008 5:45:12 PM

i prefer gchat as well but will use this new facebook chat feature

will likely abandon AIM within 6 months

so long screen name i've had since i was 14/15... good decade!!

4/23/2008 7:31:51 PM

i got a msg from facebook via gmail chat that was logged into aim

it was letting me know that sally just changed her shirt



**block

4/23/2008 9:41:37 PM

^Yeah, this is getting fucking ridiculous

4/23/2008 9:42:58 PM

what?

4/23/2008 9:57:27 PM

i got something on AIM

didnt know if it was facebook related, i closed it

4/23/2008 9:58:31 PM

you can change the settings to ignore newsfeed items in the chat

not sure how i like the chat so far, jury is still out

gchat is still where its at for now

4/23/2008 10:01:34 PM

ive still not used the facebook chat yet

feel weird talking to some random high school friend i havent contacted since 2002

4/23/2008 10:03:00 PM

I wish I could use it at work, but I can't access facebook or AIM. LAME.

4/23/2008 10:11:54 PM

^ if you want aim use meebo.com or gmail (gmail chat supports aim)

4/23/2008 10:20:32 PM

gmail won't let me in right now

temporary error, the engineers are working on it. apparently.

4/23/2008 10:31:38 PM

meebo and gmail are also blocked.

School systems are thorough.

4/23/2008 10:54:42 PM

i'm all about cutting out the simple talking and experiencing people in a visceral way


well, depending on who it is, of course.

4/23/2008 10:58:51 PM

^^ just use a proxy through port 80

you can browse the internet right?

[Edited on April 23, 2008 at 11:00 PM. Reason : ^^

4/23/2008 11:00:09 PM

DoD computers have a sticker on them lots of times that specifically says that they will fuck your shit up if you bypass their controls via proxy
