Instant messaging was once tipped to replace e-mail, but recent figures
suggest that it has lost ground sharply. Why?
OMG. Instant messaging (IM), once the mainstay of teenage gossips,
techie know-it-alls and office time-wasters everywhere, looks as though
it is in trouble.
Just a few years ago, it was meant to be the future.
More immediate than e-mail, less fiddly than texting, sending an IM was
widely expected by many technology pundits to become our preferred mode
of online communication, whether socially or in the office - or socially
in the office, for that matter.
