The Best Way to Say You are BUSY Online!

[akosirap]

Instant messaging has been a very indispensable part of going online nowadays. In the office, we have the privilege of not having our Yahoo Messengers blocked (actually, nothing's blocked in the office) since it's a major and fast way of communicating to everyone - and sometimes, also an indicator if someone is "online" (a.k.a. "working") or not

i'v always found it weird to put that busy icon on your status (even goin back to the days of ICQ. i mean, if you really don't want to be disturbed, then why are you visible? (obviously comin from someone whose contacts kno is always online but never visible)

as a person who also has himself as a YM contact, i have to tell you that the statuses you see are deceiving. what you see isn't always what other people see. but it still helps, since 95% of the time you'd be makin the right assumptions.

true. The icon, at some point, is a first line of defense - telling others not to talk to you. But once someone messages you, you have to reply coz there's no way you're online and you don't want to chat.

on the other hand, some people goes online for the sake of the "community", feeling that there are people around even if he/she's alone. Probably hoping some people would message them even if they are "busy".
