usually i don’t enter jabber any more. i am tired to turn it on by knowing noone will write me. there are a couple of contacts anyway. all of them had other ways of communication with locals, except me.
since june i have twitter. i don’t keep that thing opened, and don’t receive emails from it with the account i always check.
recently one guy tried to contact me for a very important for me opportunity, i had to be somewhere at exact time, and he did it via twitter, so i missed that.
i’ve asked why didn’t he use email and he said it did not pass through his mind. several people also agreed that email only has an association with work and tons of emails they need to read but don’t want to.
