online chat

does anyone post-college actually still use an online chat client with any regularity? in high school i used AIM occasionally, only because my parents only had dial up internet (remember that!?). college was ridiculous. there were actually many times i would chat with my room mate behind me online rather than turning around and speaking. plus, it was a great messaging service to see if friends down the hall wanted to go to dinner.

the past six months or so, probably 98% of the online conversations i’ve had have been with my wife over Google chat. that’s it. between texting, this blog, and now twitter, i just don’t use online chat anymore.

anyone else in the same boat?

twitter-ific

i’ve known about Twitter for some months now. honestly i always saw it as something kind of cool, but not really sure if it was something i really cared about doing and maintaining. but like all free things, i finally broke down and gave it a try, because well 1) it’s still interesting to me 2) i know a good handful of folks doing it that i like 3) it’s free. so i’m on a Twitter trial.

so far i like it. within 15 minuets of signing up ad posting one thing, i had two friends following me. kind of cool, kind of creepy, but i’ll roll with it. the tough thing right now will be me figuring out the balance between Twittering and blogging. if you want, you can follow me, too.

anyone else doing this?
