Honestly, do I not have enough things on the internet to waste my time with? Do I really need another chat client? Do I honestly want more “communication” with nobody-in-particular?
I don't think so.
I have never, ever had an online chat worth its weight in electrons. I suppose I can almost see the appeal for someone who is not myself, but when I try it out (and believe me, I have tried it out... I've even needed to use it for work, at times) what I tend to end up doing while attempting to jabber is hurry hurry hurry my typing and thinking and breathing and heart-rate and blood pressure and life-span... I try too hard to be charming, to be funny, to be anything but who I am. In effect, I become somebody else. Somebody I don't particularly like. Somebody who doesn't take time to think before saying whatever it is they're about to say. Somebody who is considering selling the meagre shares of Google stock he owns if Google is actually going to spend more than half a moment developing yet another chat client. Especially if they are releasing it--yet again--without any sort of Macintosh support (though I admit I don't care as much about this one, since I don't really care about the product any further than I can throw it).
I suppose I could change my mind somewhere down the line. But I doubt it.
