I prefer chatting. But I see many people prefer email (for me, it's a bit inconvenient). What about you? Which form of communication via the Internet do you prefer?

I choose email.By this communication via,you can say something that you don't like to talk face to face.And by this way you can also practise the ability of writing. If you are busy and don't have enough time to chat,you can write an email to your friend,they will be happy and your relationship will more strong.

I prefer chatting more than emailing. I find it really boring to type letters who don't respond. I just have only one or two friends who respond to my emails. So I prefer to chat.

I prefer email. But for urgent needs, I prefer chat, for faster responses from both chatters.

I prefer emailing. Because sometimes I can do other things when I am writing an email. However, when I am chatting a friend, at least I have to focus to it. Otherwise it'll be impolite.

I like to chat but sometimes it is inconvenient. Most of my friends are more into e-mail, though, so it is hard for me to find someone to chat with when I am ready to chat. And I don't really get into chatting with complete strangers.

i would prefer chatting than emailing because in chatting both of u are atleast on the net at the same time but when u are emailing its like the other person might be reading it after a few days also ....so its better to get a response immidiately reather than waiting for a email from the dude..and atleast when u are at the same time on the net the discussions are instinct and not made up so i would anywayz go for chatting

Frankly speaking it has been a long time I have e-mailed a friend to communicate. Most of the time nowadays I used orkut for communication because all my friends are there and it is very easy for me to scrap them and then they quickly replied to vet if they are online at that moment. Nowadays the use e-mail just a foreword any e-mail that came to me and I feel that it is nice for others to see. Contractors begin nowadays mostly all my males are official related soap hardly any of my friend Mimi scrapping of the best idea.

I prefer chatting if I have the time. If I don't have time then I like to just send a quick email.

I always chat with my friends, its much easier and clear communicating with them on time. I just use email when im sending files or documents. Or if my friend is offline that's the time i use email.

Hello! :) Like probably most people here, i prefer chatting, since the response time is much faster then emails. Also, since chatting sometimes comes with webcam and voice so its way better, you get to see the emotion and reaction of the person you are chatting with, as if he/she is right next to you.

I prefer chatting as well. I think e-mail ends up washed out, if you go back and forth, back and forth. Pretty soon you run out of things to say, but feel obligated to respond anyhow. Chatting is easier. You can get a quick run down of what is going on at the time, and if you're in the mood chat and joke a bit, then be done with it. :o)
