    Default IM or Phone?

    Because of Destais thread, it spurred me to ask this question: Do you talk more on the phone or online, through AIM, Y!M, or MSN?

    I NEVER talk on the phone, unless my dad calls from Arizona. It's so much easier to be surfin' da web AND talking to peeps at the same time.

    I don't much like either, I prefer face to face. But I like IM better because you can pay attention to a number of things rather than having to pay attention to one single thing.

    Phones.
    They're much more intimate.

    Of those two, phones are better in my opinion. I can multitask, so I'll just play my game or surf the web or read a book or whatever while talking on the phone. Plus, it feels more personal and I like talking to my friends.
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.

    Honestly, neither. Most of my IRL friends go to my message board, and if I want to talk to them I'll do it through there. If I want to address all of them, I make a thread, and for one-on-one I PM them. They do the same as well.

    IRL > IM > phone. Minutes are expensive, ya know.

    More often on IM. phones are usually a necessary evil, unless it's with other eoffers, then just necessary.

    I am ashamed to admit that my dreams involve irc/aim windowsX.x;;;

    I probably talk more on the phone because I'm usually on my phone when I walk to and from class.

    I talk to my online friends through msn, of course. But I usually talk to all my friends and family face to face more than I do on the phone

    I talk on IM a lot, but I'd rather speak to a person on the phone.

    I spend about 100 hours on the phone each month to Sarah, and I call a few other people once in a while too. Otherwise it's all IM's. But I voted phone because I prefer the phone to chat for the people who are most important to me.

    <3 the phone.
