WSJ Discovers Instant Messaging
from the guess-that-fad-is-over dept
It seems the Wall Street Journal is a bit behind on the whole "instant messaging at work" thing. They've just now written an article (thankfully republished for free at MSNBC) letting you know that people use instant messaging at work. I guess it's official now. It amazes me that they focus so much on the idea that IM is a "tool mostly used by teenagers". It actually reads like an article from a few years back (and, actually, probably is almost identical to articles that other publications did write a few years back).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
