    AOL,MSN,Yahoo: Instant Messaging vs Email

    Instant messaging fans point to the sheer availability of IM offerings from the likes of AOL, MSN and Yahoo as the reason for scrapping old-fashioned email systems. Email managers consider those firms' implementations to be excellent reasons to avoid IM."Immediacy" may be the first word that comes to mind when users describe the advantages of instant messaging systems. When properly applied, IM systems are fantastic.Team members agree to meeting times, wrap out quickie questions, and snappy responses. Tech supporters broadcast complex subscriber probs to selected programming groups to pound out quick salvations for The Stricken waiting on the POT (Plain Old Telephone). Frantic managers can IM while Yet Another Motivational Speaker (YAMS) gropes for apt metaphors in a snoring auditorium.

    Well being that I rule I have to be honest email is good for personal business or when u need to email someone but dont need a response right away.

    I feel as if I am getting email from someone its because they are taking the time to write and give thought behind the email they sending.

    On the other hand instant messaging is like the phone u talk in real time and say what comes to mind at that time.
    hell u can do free voice chat with others anyhows so that is why instant messaging is important as well as email.

    I like both.
    woot
    note in either case i will respond to an email when i want as well as an instant messege. the difference though is when u go online to instant messeng someone u want to chat them up, if not there is always the stealth feature in yahoo messenger. *that is if u use it*

    whatever is clever fellas
    i love u
