I'm quite like Rubber Stamp. It's helped me keep in contact with people who have gone to the other side of the world and it also helps me keep in contact with many people at the one time, saving me time and money. I also have a lot more confidence talking online than I do in person (I'm normally quite shy
). It might have screwed up my spelling and grammar a bit but I think the social aspects of it far outway these bad parts. Not to mension these bad parts of it can be overcome with spell checks and the like and I'm also making more of a conscious decision on how I'm writing so that it doesn't get any worse (and hopefully improve to the level it was at before I started IM'ing).
