I was a little amused to see that at my nutritionist's office they use some form of IM (MSN Messenger?) to talk between the offices and reception, rather than the phone. It confused me for a moment, though, when the receptionist said, "I'll let ______ know that you're here", and then nothing seemed to happen.
I wonder, though, do they ever find themselves slipping into netspeak? Is there a supreme over-abundance of smileys? Do any of them use it for personal conversations, too, and accidentally send the wrong message? I don't know if that would work for me - I'm not sure I could actually have an IM conversation that didn't involve liberal uses of the words 'dude', 'seriously', 'heh', and 'meep'.
