How Long Do You Stay on AIM? How Many Buddies?

[Kenji4861]

I just found some people around me that have their lives replaced by AIM. They stay on 24 hours, and have 200 buddies. Well... I stay on.. 24 hours... hmm...

So.. just curious...

How many hours do you stay on AIM?

How many active buddies do you have on your list?

80 buddies

 

[MistaTastyCakes]

74 buddies
1 hour, 54 minutes

i'm usually on AIM 24 hours a day... although i usually restart my computer every other day or so so i've only been online 1 day and a few hours. (idle about 90% of that time.. i'm hardly ever at m comptuer anymore)

i have 19 buddies on my list, 2 of which are online (including me... yes, my own name is on my buddy list)

 

[Rogozhin]

I'm never on AIM and have no buddies.

~150 buddies between AIM and MSN. (Trillian) It's on whenever my computer is, which is only when I'm home, but I may or may not be around. I treat it like an answering machine, largely. Beats people calling my phone.

 

[Sid59]

always on, but not always at my computer.

100 friends from school and work and family
30 or so from the internet.

i'm going on 6 days on my current session, most of the time i leave it on 24 hours a day and just reboot once a week or so only 50 buddies

I probably have 75 buddies - but I am truly online 100% of the time. I can log in via my cell phone. So although I don't have an insane log in time like 6-7 days, I can always be reached. Cell phone AIM is way more convenient than sitting in front of the comp too.

My main computer has AIM signed on 24-7 with 190 buddies. However, I will only be signed on every once in a while since I am on vacation now.

 

[Anubis]

[Reliant]

When I lived at school I left AIM on all day but now that's the semester is over I turn it off at night.
I have 50 buddies.

I leave it on all day (most of the time set to AWAY) because I'm in and out of my home office... they usually leave a msg for me if need be... and I just answer them when I see it.

I have 74 buddies on my list... I'd say about 50 are active users.

Does anyone know the definition of a buddy?

Most of them are people I know from real life... and some are just contacts made through the web... I have a few for prior web contract jobs. Then there are those contacts who run FTPs. I don't have any girlie girls with "cute" or "chick" in their name met through the Intraweb. The one girl I met online was from the Prodigy days and I've met in IRL in Chicago last year. Talk about a real long time huh ? Think almost 10 years from the time I started talking to her to the time I met her.

i leave it on all day at home. i dont know how many buddies. 30?

 

[bleeb]

I leave mine on occasionally and I have 13 + 70 + 7 + 65 + 2 = 144 buddies.

 

[Pastore]

I have been connected for 9 days, 4 hours, and 29 minutes, and have 80 buddies, of which I talk to no more than 5 of.

 

[Ciber]

I'm on 24/7

Buddies? too lazy to count....

 

[Yeeny]

102 buddies, alot of whom bitch at me because I am always on, but never there.

 

[chin311]
