Chatting
This is how my Mom stays in contact with my brother, a 'Millennial' who is forever on the internet. And if he is offline, she just chats anyway instead of sending an email and he'll get it later. Actually, I do the same thing in Google Talk, but really the only people I chat with are my 2 brothers.
And my Mom! Guess what? As I was posting this, she 'chatted', "where are you available at?" Hmm.... not Big Brother, but Big Mother (it's a joke, Mom)
The information on Meebo is useful; esp for libraries wanting to offer chat reference. I don't remember this specifically being mentioned in last month's Georgetown workshop, but it would have fit right in. Any way to text to MeeboMe?
My friend's son & daughter-in-law volunteered on a construction site in Georgia (country of former of USSR, not state) and they kept in contact via Skype. No horrible phone bills! How cool is that?
