To chat or not to chat my ramblings

To chat or not to chat or is it now called posting messages

Is plain emailing being outdated????

My latest finds are Twitter, Bebo, Facebook and MySpace.

I have read about these through various blogs and on the Internet I have joined two of them.

My friend Twittered (not sure if that is the correct term) me, so I joined Twitter and we twittered for while accepted some new friends.

The other day I noticed my daughter using Facebook, she was in the family room using her laptop. My laptop is in the lounge room I sat down joined Facebook and sent her message asking her to be my friend, she accepted and we began chatting over the Internet instead of yelling to each other across the house, we do really talk to each other normally but this was just an exercise for me to see how Facebook works.

Of cause there many more site out there where one can chat, upload photos or post messages but I don't think they are for me.

Talking of chatting, where I work (public library) we have some computers that are restricted only for research purposes, on these computers chatting and email is not allowed and it was easy to block chat/email when there was only hotmail messenger and yahoo chat but now because there so many variations it is becoming hard to block all of them especially when you have not even heard of them, it's making the IT guy a bit crazy.

I can't imagined how many variations there are out there in the world wide web where one can email, chat or just send messages.
