Wired News: Never IM in This Town Again!
For anyone who may be following my thoughts on creating an away message aggregator as it may be called, here’s an article to support the thought.
For those that don’t care to read it, it basically says people in hollywood that work, or hire for short time gigs use iChat because of its feature to display all away messages together. So, a quick browse through the list would indicate if someone was in need of work or just finishing up a gig.
“‘Ninety percent of my work is given to me through a pop-up (chat window) on my desktop,’ said Simon Foster, 32, a freelance production coordinator living in Santa Monica, California.”
So, maybe my idea of creating an easier way to view away messages would have some use after all.
