A way of communication without having to text/call or hang out with that person. If it weren't for Instant Messenger I wouldn't have as many friends as I DO(: Its pretty
freaking awesome. Even though you might not even talk to half of your contacts... you still got more people online. Great for having HILARIOUS group discussions with all
your cool friends. If
I walk away from my computer for a second I first check to see who got online while I was gone... Very addictive. But totally awesome(: ***warning: may lead to loss of social skills***
