As a 22-year-old recent college grad, I can testify that AIM is an important aspect of college culture.

Most college students have access to high speed internet and are online 24 hours a day. Many use AIM not only for instant communication, but also as a type of answering machine by way of away messages.

Away messages are an art form. People use them to express themselves. Away messages may include information about where the person is (“I’m in class”), if they are available to chat (“I’m studying, please interrupt me!”), other ways to reach them (cell number, email) and personal expressions (such as a favorite quote, or the latest news in their life (“I passed my test!”).

About the blending of technology… through AOL Journals, you can add entries to your blog using AIM. AIM is also available for cellphones – you can have your IMs forwarded to your cell, and you can choose to send IMs directly to someone’s cell instead of their computer (if you have their cell number). I don’t know anyone personally who uses AIM for cellphone.

There is definately a type of ettiquette involved in the use of email, AIM, and cell phones. I will have to pay more attention in order to be able to describe it.

Kids and Social Software, Part I: COPPA

Two years ago I was consulting for the CBC (Canada’s national broadcaster) doing user research as part of an effort to revamp their online services for kids. That meant spending a lot of time at kids’ (9-12 year olds) houses…

This is awesome information. You’d think that this would predict a 2 things: 1) online journal (LJ)advancement would occur so it’s easier to add entries (perhaps using AIM) and user’s would be able to access LJ more easily and in addition ways. 2) AIM will proliferate onto other devices, not just PC (be native on cell phones). Then again, maybe not…

The data that was collected in interviews didn’t seem to suggest that away messages were rude, but at that age level kids rarely can have instances when they are away from the computer and their AIM is on because most of the time computers are a shared commodity. It could be that because of these time constraints that are imposed by parents, younger AIM users are not investing their energy into away messages – there is no real use for them in this case. We do have some data about kids under 17 but not a lot and its self-report with sparse questions about IM. This type of discussion is really good though for thinking about creating future studies and what to ask.
