Week Nine: Instant Messaging

I have used instant messaging on Facebook to talk to friends. It was extremely useful a couple summers ago when my oldest son was in Spain for 6 weeks and that was our primary means of communication. I don't see using it at school since most of our teachers are away from their desks so often, but I could certainly see it for reference work in a different library setting. I logged into Meebo with my Facebook account. I had not heard of Meebo but it certainly is a convenient way to be linked to people with different IM providers.
