Chatting Question - Mark and Jan

[Guest guest]

Hi you guys.

Thanks for your advice. To be honest, I don't even know what ICQ

and MSN stand for, but I was able to download the Messenger

and put my ageless and genderless self in the directory. So,

if I understand this correctly, it doesn't work like a "room,"

rather, it is a communication that is initiated by someone and is

instant, right? Like a phonecall? The trick, now, is how to know my

friends' I.D.'s? And also, wanting to respect my new internet

family, how does one know if a spontaneous "phonecall" is welcomed?

It can work like a room - click at "tools" and then "conference"...

When a friend is online, that is visible, but it's possible to send messages

to those offline too - then it will pop up as a kind of "hi!"

The "add friends" menu requires input, either name, ID

or an interest/keyword, like "Yoga" or "meditation".

Much easier, to become a member of the "I AM" list - then click

"members" and look up the profiles - if that has an entry "add to friend

list", that's all... When that initiative is appreciated, you'll know...
