Away Message
The worst part of having used the internet since I was 13 is that I've met and talked with hundreds of people from all around the world. Message boards, instant messaging, e-mail. You can keep in touch with anyone in mere seconds. And the problem is that no one ever contacts me. My buddy list is made up of thirty people who are always away. My inbox of four different e-mail accounts brings in about four e-mails per day - all from Columbiahouse, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or some other online store I've used.
Only one person I know ever IMs me on his own. Only one person I know ever calls me on his own. Dan.
Of all the friends I've made in my lifetime, of all the people with whom I've become acquainted, Dan is the only one who takes the time and energy to periodically check up on me. The only one who ever responds to me when I IM him while his Away Message is up.
An age of instant communication can determine who your true friends are. Who are yours?
