So I caved and got a Twitter. I don't know why I resisted it in the first place, seeing as I have no issue with having a MySpace, Facebook, and LiveJournal. And unlimited texting on my cell. They're just communication tools.

I use all four of these mediums for legitimate reasons. I just want to communicate with my friends, dammit. Aside from the times I see them in person, obviously.

Through what mediums do you communicate with your friends?

MSN and more recently, LJ. :(

MSN and AIM only, aside from PMs here. I have a MySpace and a Facebook, but me signing on to either is a rare occasion.

EDIT: Oh, and occasionally LiveJournal too. I don't post much though.

My main source of communication is verbal. I also frequently use AIM and it is rumored, on rare occasion, that one could find me on MSN. I also use my often forgotten livejournal whenever I remember that I have one.

What? I see you on MSN almost every other day.

I just found out that you were on my MSN contact list today. Fancy that.

Yeah, it was during Rye's election party conversation chat thing when you suddenly showed up on mine. *shrug*

YIM, MSN, and Myspace :p

MySpace I use a lot, because

1. It's a good way to keep in touch with my friends that I don't go to school with. I can't leave my house often.
2. I dump my inner emo on it so it doesn't spill over here on EoFF or IRL.

Cell phone is #1. Facebook is second and more for people I don't talk to on a regular basis. Otherwise, if I have something to say to a friend, I'll usually just call them up.

AIM and FFXI.

I don't really like Twitter myself. But I guess for some people microblogging is they only way they really do much communication.

I use Facebook just to stalk people. Texting is for arranging things but usually not for conversations. I like face-to-face the best.

I use MSN, mostly...I do have accounts on both Facebook and Bebo, but I only signed up so I could see photos from my friends and stuff. I've just finished year 12 and I'm still on Christmas holidays (or 'Summer Vacation', I guess), so I've been really anti-social lately. :p Of course, I use my mobile phone too (for text messaging, mainly), but yeah, I'm just laying low for a little while until university starts. :)

In person (usually concerns my roommates and classmates, whom I see in person most often)
Text messages (often to set up an in-person meeting for purposes of business or leisure, or to have small conversations when I'm away from the computer)
Telephone conversation (for something that's short but urgent)
#eoff (to talk to you fine folks)
Facebook, LJ, email, etc
AIM (on fairly rare occasions actually. mostly to discuss homework with my classmates.)

I use Pidgin (by MSN, AIM or Gtalk protocol) to talk to online and offline friends, telephone/face-to-face for offline friends and family, irc#eoff to talk to Shorty, Visitor Messages and PMs to talk to EoFFers who aren't directly available through one of the aforementioned.

I have an LJ, a MySpace, a Twitter and possibly even a Facebook, but only so I can follow friends-only journals/updates/whatever.

I also have a Twitter, but primarily to follow webcomic artists.

Cellphone, LiveJournal, Facebook, email, MSN, IRC... quite a range, really. I'm using them more often for keeping in touch with people I know in reality, rather than solely online acquaintances.

I don't talk to people much, I'm on AIM once in a blue moon so we'll go with that.

In person, texting sometimes, and a facebook. But I'm not really enough of a camera h0r for facebook x)

By far, Livejournal. LJ is strictly online friends. Facebook also, for strictly offline friends.

I don't really use my twitter anymore, Den. xD I shut off the phone updates because someone (a good friend of mine!) on my twitter updated little 5 times an hour, during my nighttime, about WoW and it got me so frustrated being woken up about the ALLIANCE and the HORDE that I gave up on the poor little twitter-bird.

I use MSN for online friends, AIM for mostly offline.

EDIT: Actually, to add on this, I would argue I use Facebook a little more in college than I've been using LJ (and I'm the EoFF LJ whore!).

I'd ask for your facebook but frankly my online friends and facebook is just another place for me to spam.

I don't have a twitter but I likely have an account on most anything else. Ugh

It sort of annoys me how people seem to send text messages more than talking on the phone these days.

Then again, it's nice because less people are talking in crowded areas (like student commons between classes) and they look more like this

I really love Twitter, but I don't really see it as a one-on-one communication tool. It just takes blogging and whittles it down to the bare bones. I started using it mostly cause I have a crappy memory, and I wanted a way of keeping track of what I've been doing and thinking and Twitter is perfect for that.

Also it's a slightly more respectful way to communicate during class. :rolleyes2

Actually, it seems the professors around here get more angry at people who send text messages during class than those who step out to take/make calls. :p

I hate texting, it costs less to make a call now than it does to send the millions of texts to get your point across.

at least with a text message, if they get your message you don't have to repeat yourself because they couldn't hear you!

Yeah, I usually try to end those pretty fast and try to arrange to actually talk to the person face-to-face someone. But if I'm just wanting to see where someone is or what they're doing it's easier than try to spark up a whole conversation via phone call.

It's cheaper for me to text with my phone. This also has something to do with how I talk to people, though xD

In the past I've also used AIM, AOL and LJ. I may cave in and get a facebook to keep in touch with college friends.
