Ever since I have used a computer with an internet connection, I have always been fascinated with away messages. I would think hard about what to post on my AIM profile or away message. I would even scan other’s away messages, and it was pretty amusing.
Only a few years later, I am even more fascinated with status messages. This trend of always being connected to your friends is really cool to me. If I know what you are doing, and you know what I am doing, then we can have more to talk about when we are actually hanging out in real life.
I get these updates on my mobile phone from my friends, and sometimes it’s overwhelming, but I feel more connected to people this way.
What do you think of Facebook status, or Twitter?
