If you use AIM like I do, this is a post for you. I am su re you know what the away message system is like. You can turn that on and it’s like an answering machine that lets all of your friends know exactly where you are and what you are doing if you aren’t in front of your pc. You can also use this to avoid people Instant Messaging you and bugging you if you are doing something important.

Next time you set an away message, make sure you write something that’ll make your friends understand what you are doing rather than just confuse them. If you are not home, just type something like “not home, will get back to you when I am back.” Don’t put something like “THIS IS MY AWAY MESSAGE” because we all know it is and that doesn’t explain why it’s on.
