how often?

i am online almost 2-3 hors during weekdays and 12-15 hours during weekends. I do lot of chatting by visiting chat rooms, conferences(audio,video). i have become addicted to gtalk and yahoo IM's.

At least once a day to chat with family and friends. I usually use msn live messenger or chat through gmail with my husband during his lunch break!

I am always online everyday. However to chat with friends, I do whenever I'm free and no clients to deal with or no work on display. Sometimes, I chat even if there is work when the need arises. Some clients, friends, and family may only have that time set for me too so as long as it will not make work undone, I will at anytime I'm online.

If i have time,i will go online everyday,but seldom to chat.I don't like to chat with stranger with QQ.I don't know what to say and how to say.so i only chat with my friends when we have some thing to do .Otherwise we will also not to chat for a long time.

I chat almost everyday because my mother and sister are in the other side of the globe. It's not necessarily everyday but since I am not busy these days, I could go online daily. When busy, we chat only on weekends.

I go online at least once a day to chat with friends.

recently i've been online almost everyday and that goes i've been chatting almost everyday. ^__^;; its forbidden to chat in the office but i really can't help it when one of my friends is online ^__^;; we don't have a ym in our computer at the office but thank goodness for yahoo for making emails as a way to chat! i just open my emails and i can see which of my friends are online and i can talk to them without the need to open a ym. ^__^ and then at weekends i chat until i drop since we have a ym and internet connection at our house. ^__^;;

I seldom go online just to chat with my friends. I would open up my MSN messenger whenever I get online so if they are free to chat I would be there. But usually I get online for my online work and stuff, therefore, I don't really spend time to chat that often. Sometimes when I am writing something serious, I would switch off the messenger too, so no one could disturb my concentration.

I haven't (text) chatted online for over 2 years but I do use Skype to talk to my friends over the computer. I find it much more useful and it doesn't distract me from my work. I don't think I'll be able to (instant)text chat for a long time after I discovered how awesome the Skype program is.

no often,sometimes i use msn or qq to chat.i always like forum to chat.my friends always like IM software to chat

I hardly chat online ,prefer to talk on telephone with my kids who are on the other side of the globe...

Most of the days atleast 4 hrs I spend on net to chat with my relative & freinds. it is very good to keep the relationship, to more about the activities and related topics on dicusstions.

I only chat with my friends so I only chat online when my friends are online.

I rarely go online just to chat, Im always doing something else at the same time.

Never... I prefer to talk to people on sites like mylot and myspace. I hate regular chatting. :/
