I do that anyway. That's right, I'm a rude motherfucker, but I don't give a fuck. I don't have time to bullshit so voice works well for me.

I dont buy it. So...you're saying with you there's no 'hello' 'how's it going' type of stuff?

So this would be you on the phone.

Friend: "hello"
Ed: "beer at the tavern at 5pm"

hang up.

You can get a message to someone when they can't talk. Or you can send them when you can't talk. I send messages to a friend while she is at work. When she has down time she responds.

I love texting.

If you have something important to say to someone and you know they are somewhere that they will not answer the phone, you can text. The text will come up on the screen or can be viewed with a a button press or two. A voice message requires them to call in and listen to the message. Text is quick and easy.

I don't ever go through the "Hi, how are you" bull shit because quite frankly, I don't give a fuck about them or how their day went, and they don't give a fuck about how my day went so why waste time. Get down to business and shut the fuck up. Of course, like Trip said, I'm an engineer and hate everyone I work with and I don't want to know them on a personal level or 99% of the population for that matter.

With a blackberry - you can use blackberry messenger to another Blackberry RIM user. There are even Facebook and Myspace applications.

I like the Facebook part. I had my Facebook messages sent to my Treo.
