Number of IM Contacts

Wednesday, December 21, 2005 at 6:07 pm | Comments off

Just a quick post to try to get the ball rolling again. I've been a bit remiss lately, I know. Work and life seem to be taking up every last free moment again.

Anyway, I'm curious - how many IM contacts do you have? At last count, my list is at 101, though I only chat often with 15-20 of them (and nearly all of those are work related).

About 40, and I only talk to 15 of them or so. Most of them are friends or people I know from school. Then again I use IRC more and more as a communication medium.

Hey, you're still alive! That's good news.

I've got exactly 101 contacts, too! I talk to probably around 10 of them most of the time. The rest I rarely talk to, and 3 of those 10 are work-related, the other 7 are hobby-related (but still involve some form of web stuff usually).

I have about 35 and talk to most of them atleast every week. If I don't talk to people often I usually remove them because I hate having people offline all the time.

I have about 60 or so. I only really talk to 10-15 also. I have just as many MSN contacts though, and only talk to about 2 or 3 of those.

Weird? I think not!

I used to have the max number a few years ago (4 yrs?) but i had friends that had 20 diff. names, does that count?

Now I've got 82, though I only talk to a handful of those regularly (8-12).
A few work related, mostly old highschool friends (the ones i still see) and new college friends.

I have 125. Rarely do I start conversations with most of them, but I generally talk back when spoken to.

wow. i'm a loser. i only have 13 and only two of them actually talk to me. Actually that's a good thing because I'm usually busy when they do. I'm an emailer, I guess, not a chatter.

Surprisingly enough I don't have one so that's why it stands at zero even though you are the third person in the last week to ask me for it. ;-)

I have dead on 100, only talk to about 15 regularly though. A couple of people on there have more than one account though, so in reality it's probably closer to 95.

I have about 15 people, but I only talk to two or three of them regularly (if they're online).

I currently have 30 on MSN and a couple on YIM and GTalk (which I never go on anymore). However, I delete people if I have no reason to talk to them anymore or if we just don't talk to begin with.

Just about everyone affiliated with my business is slowly making the change to Google Talk for the new year. This includes my associates, partners, customers, etc. Then there are all my personal contacts as well (i.e. Family and Friends). So we are talking in the neighborhood of 260.

The one thing I miss is being able to sort contacts out. Hopefully we will be able to label our contacts in the future.

20 total, but that includes some dupes, people who have both AIM and Y! accounts. On a regular basis, I only speak to about 3 or 4 of them.

Thank goodness for Adium.
