IM for job hunting

IM can be used for different purposes, among others job hunting using the status feature. This post tells the story.... Indeed, IM can sometimes be used as a replacement for SMS or e-mail due to this immediacy.

"Instead of displaying simple "away from my computer" messages, Hollywood buddy lists now overflow with come-ons, from "need work" to "wrapping up shoot." Producers hiring for a new production can tell at a glance who's available now, who's not and who might be free in the near future. "Ninety percent of my work is given to me through a pop-up (chat window) on my desktop," said Simon Foster, 32, a freelance production coordinator living in Santa Monica, California."
