yes, but since AIM pc users don't have "user status" message, are these messages intended for ichat users specifically? idle isn't good enough anymore?

QUESTIONS.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:39 (twenty years ago)

They don't? I was able to create any damn away message I pleased when I used IM last year. Maybe PCers are jealous of iChatters and are typing in the iChat away message by hand.

STATUS MESSAGE NOT AWAY MESSAGE

STATUS MESSAGES ⊇ AWAY MESSAGE

YES I JUST USED THE "SUPERSETS" OPERATOR

STATUS MESSAGES are little things ichat users can make viewable to each other. sometimes we put what mood we're in, maybe a quote we like from a song or a movie, or EVEN what SONG we are listening to in iTunes!

yay!

i like 'i am online but i am playing a computer game which takes up the whole screen'

― +++, Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:47 (twenty years ago)

that is an away message. not a status message.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

come on, people.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

― s/c (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

wow that sounds retarded

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:49 (twenty years ago)

"must prepare computer for my impending absence from it!"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:50 (twenty years ago)

it's not impending absence. it's "i'm available and this is what i have to say right now."

you pc users are clueless, plus now you have these messages involuntarily!

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 23 March 2006 19:54 (twenty years ago)

"Away" is a status.

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:00 (twenty years ago)

I don't know but I"m going to be at work late so I'll get to use IM!! Long time, no see buddy list.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:03 (twenty years ago)

You were AIM yesterday, NERD.

Ally, me too. I fake idle a lot of time when annoying people from college msg me

― R.I.P. West Village Bird Shaman ]-`: (ex machina), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:09 (twenty years ago)

i haven't been on aim in a long long time :(

― Allyzay Rofflesberger (allyzay), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:11 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, Jon, for the first time in a couple of months, I think. I forgot how much fun it is to actually talk to people who live in other places. And no, I can't use a telelphone.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:37 (twenty years ago)

me neither. i want to chat but it's difficult with a baby on one arm. :-(

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Thursday, 23 March 2006 20:42 (twenty years ago)

should have thought about that before making baby.
