with Myspace and facebook having as much success as they do with IM, (instant message) I think that it would be a good idea to have on newschoolers, its a hassle free way of communication.  PM's are ok, but if someone is online it gets kind of old having to refresh your page to see if they replied yet..thoughts?

heres the thing, websites get money from ads based on the number of "hits" they have (that is, how many times a new page is clicked on the domain). So by doing that they would lose money from sponsors.


honestly, thats speculation but that makes sense to me

It would be cool, I agree. I wonder if it would lessen the posting activity though. Doubtful, just thinking out loud

Keep facebook on facebook and not on newschoolers. If you really want to have a conversation with someone, make friends on fb or exchange numbers. Pm's work fine for me

IMO it would be better to have something like status updates.

That way you could just be like, Heading up to Bristol, planning on skiing the trees today, come and build a jib with us, main lodge at 6pm for tacos!

good thinking thou
