Nearing the end of the road, thingy 19

You can't run. skip or jump these days, without someone being able to throw a message at you in some sort of format before we know it we will be getting personalised messages over the radio and TV. In saying that, I was going to set up an instant messaging service for the library, using meebo. I had the code for the little box and all. However the problem is time, if you are going to offer an instant messaging service in the library, someone would have to be instantly sitting there to answer the message, while you could limit the instant messaging hours, it would be hard for anyone to sacrifice the time. Instant messaging is handy in a social context, only realised recently they offer a type of instant messaging service on facebook if two friends are on line at the same time. Then again you could always text, phone, or email the person, I suppose the advantage of instant messaging is that is what it is, instant!
