Great use of instant messaging...

Are you ever on a conference call, and you're talking to people, but you have your Instant Messaging window open to some of the people in the call - and while conversations are flowing, you throw in your *true* two cents about the conversation and enjoy a good laugh in the midst of it?

You can use it to ask questions like,

"OMG Who's doing all that heavy breathing on the line?"

"Oops, i zoned. What's he talking about right now? You zoned too? Okay, hopefully he keeps talking until we figure out what he's been talking about..."
