Yet here you are. Right now. Looking for something to do. Perhaps by habit, you ve sign on to your instant messaging account. Perhaps you ve done so using Meebo. And you ve found someone you enjoy conversing with. So you re happy to talk. But you want something more. Something to keep you occupied whilst punching out one-liners and gossip and poetic verse and whatnot.
