New Fad: Instant Messaging!

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

File this one under "You've Got To Be Kidding."

Headline in The Herald News Online reads "The latest fad -- Instant Messaging." The article starts:

" Forget e-mail. The latest trend for teen talk is Instant Messaging, also called IMing.

It is like a quick form of e-mail where the sender clicks on the person's name, types in the message and hits send.

The message instantly pops up in a box on the receiver's screen."

Thanks for the primer.
