Instant Messaging & Presence: Why?
• Fastest-growing application: >600M users!• [A] Messaging (chat): fast, easy, ephemeral• [B] Presence: the key enabler!
– Shows ‘who is online right now’– Like ‘personal radar alert’, no need to ‘trawl’ for info

Relevance to Learning• This is “Social Software” (connecting a distributed community)• Fosters impromptu/informal interactions• Well-known “feel-good factor” (seeing “who’s around”)• Encourages peer-group problem-solving• Avoids “telephone tag” and “email tag” (& spam)

BuddySpace + Web2.0 = MSG
• BuddySpace = fancy IM + maps (great, but too difficult)• MSG much simpler (no download, no installation, no fancy options)• Automatic ‘contact list’ (from LDAP or group administrator)• Optional maps
Three “status” choices, that’s all!(Online, Away, Do not disturb)
Automatically-constructedcontact lists
Click-to-chat, that’s all!
