A lot is missed if we rely only upon IM to communicate. However, I do think it is an important communication tool in a business and can save precious time. I am guilty of IM'g someone I could hit with a paper airplane, but I'd like to explain my reasoning. I choose to IM someone one or two cubes over simply because I know that their time is precious as well as mine and often times walking over to the person means engaging them in some idle chitchat that eats time. I'm not opposed to this and I think it has it's place, I just choose to IM at the right time. We have a vast array of communication resources and we all have our preferences. Some prefer e-mail, some IM, some others all face-to-face. I think it comes down to how we work and how others work. We need to be concious of how others like to communicate and the timing of that communication (i.e. - big project deadline looming). <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post. I noticed you geocache and live in Webster. Me too, on both accounts. I have two caches - Stand By Me and TrailBlaze located in Webster. Maybe we'll run into each other on the trails!BOCES ITShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867490892483185923noreply@blogger.com
