It’s basically a way to connect to all those people who you no longer talk to IRL and who you don’t have enough to say to in a proper e-mail and then send them invites to games even ****tier and more of a time waste than this.

I tried using it about 3 years ago when I was getting 6-7 e-mails a day from friends and family telling me to join and the second I get in nobody has anything to say beyond “try this new app”. You send a phrase worth of a message and get a response in a few days at which point it becomes completely meaningless, is there something wrong with IM? Why are we going to the electronic equivalent of sending a telegram?

I will admit that if you like to see hundreds of pics of random family members covered in tags or want to upload pics for all your acquaintances to see it has a use, but unlike a Forum where at least there are people you don’t know, these are supposed to be your friends and family. If you gave 2 ****s about them you would have given them a call or just talked to them in person in the first place. Or if they are across the country, sent an e-mail, why complicate things?

Maybe it’s just me…
