Do you willing hand out MSN or Yahoo name

I have neither lol because I am crap with both and my time is so limited because Iammylotting and blogging and all the other work..Ijust skype my family back home a few minutes every other day..I just can't find enough hours in the day man. I just wish I could become a bionic woman lol!!

In the early days I wouldn't have really cared about giving out my email and stuff, but now I guess I'm pretty protective about it. I guess my email is also that personal part, like some real address and I can't just toss it around for random people to see. I have quite a few people on my list who I don't talk to, or haven't chatted to in years! I don't really like having all these contacts that I don't really speak to, I'm not sure if they even remember who I am ;( erm, yeah. so I wouldn't really want to give anybody my email address unless I knew that we would talk and maybe be friends or something. Or they seem like decent people. There's also the privacy and stuff like transmitting of viruses and that too. I have met some people who live pretty close to where I am, but we've never thought of really meeting. I like just being friends on the internet and being able to have conversations without having to go further like that.

yes, i m ready 2 handout 2 my friends

It depends on what I'm using the information for. if it's for a community or something like that, then sure, I'd be more than happy to. The thing is, if you ever give out personal information, it's most likely all over the internet before you know it. Not because other people will spread it, but because search engines index things like that.

Hello killahclaire, I never give out personal information to anybody not even my email add. Sure, there are a number of members here asking me. But I prefer to play it safe. I have to know this person well and the real motive of asking my email add.. I do am chatting with two members who are really nice and had helped me a lot here. In fact, I even set up another email account using my username. There are a lot of crazies nowadays.

I would never hand out any sort of information like that unless I really know the person.

Well you get every sorts of people on net, even I hand out my id without thinking and very rarely I have come across anyone whom I do not feel like chatting. If I find someone just not worth chatting then I simply do not reply back as no one can force you to reply. So it is ok if you hand over id unmindfully, you can always decide whom to respond or not.

When someone asks for my ID I give MSN which i don't use much, I only login if I'm planning to talk with someone, people that I was talking with for a while and I trust; i give them my Yahoo ID, I use Yahoo messenger for work and it's also easier to organize my online status, if I'm busy I appear offline for everyone except my business contacts and can toggle this easily not to offend anyone.. Frankly, like offline I don't like to chat with too many people, only a few that I feel comfortable talking with, I don't do it to waste time since I don't have much time to waste and I prefer to talk with people who I really like to talk with, also I prefer when they can use voice chat, video is not important, i just feel it's more important to really 'talk" not just write text messages.

I have handed out my msn fairly willingly. So has my daughter. WE learnt our lessoon though, when a year 8 student hacked her msn account and wrote stupid messages. One has to be very careful about hading out your msn. Yoiu can always delete people if necessarey, or even block them.

yes ,i would like to hand out my msn of yahoo names.i think it can make other people find me on line.and i can make more friends,with the people who we can not know.

I don't give away my chat ids unless I trust the person or have known him/her over a period of time.There might be exceptions to this rule ,but it's very rare.I have only close friends on my friend's list in msn and yahoo and almost each one there has known me for some time and vice versa.Well, at least in yahoo messenger.It could be really disturbing when you give your chat id to the wrong person because even if you ignore him/her ,they might come back with a different userid.It's so easy to change the id.I think they should not allow more than one user id per IP address and make an exception only when some valid evidence ( like a chat conversation ) is provided as proof.

If I talk to someone a few times and get along with them I don't mind them having my MSN. The worst that's ever happened is one friend on MSN was impatient and I sometimes am doing other things while talking and he'd actually use BUZZ! every chance he got. I got him to stop though and we still talk every now and then =P

Sure why not give out you MSN or Yahoo name or AIM name. There is no true info they can really get from you even though people may think that. They can't. I do it all the time if people ask its all in just being nice and all that. But relationship wise I haven't experienced anything serious online but i'm sure it happens all the time. If you are in that situation... Good Luck.

I'll give out my MSN or Yahoo! IM name, because I hardly EVER am on those messengers. But I'm very selective who I give my AIM names to. I have two which are linked at all times, and if I'm on a message board or something from school, I'll usually use my second, non-personal one. Its the one people use to contact me with from my site. I'm generally up for chatting with anyone at least once. If they're jerks or creepy in any way during that chat, they get blocked and I just don't think about them anymore. If they're cool people and I enjoy talking to them then usually I'll keep them on my list. I've only ever actually met someone from online once. It was a girl which I chatted with for several years on a regular basis, and then one summer she caught a bus in and stayed with my then best friend for a week.

oh luckily I am a boy and I don't worry about giving my msn address to anyone I meet. In fact I give it to all I meet chatting. If I have a problem I can always go in offline mode or lock them from viewing my status. I must only be careful when giving my address to false women....that are gay guys that pretends to be women :-) lol. I like very much to c2c on msn or talk and cam with girls...so if any girl is interested...send me your msn :D eheheh. I already have a friend from UK who I talk with about everyday and I spend there 1 hour chatting per day!! I have too many friends on msn....the bad thing is that I can't remember when I added them...and many times I found people who forgot me too...so we begin chatting and asking our names ecc ;). I don't use so much yahoo...but it's similar to msn (even if video is so slow there...). I don't worry about giving them my msn address..because I don't have a real email ...it's a MS passport account @passport.com, so I don't receive emails and none can send me email through that! :-P

It's all right to give out your id to starngers. After all, you can always block the nasty ones. Never accept files though, especially files with extensions like .exe, .rar and .zip ... these could be viruses. Just hope that you don't add a professional hacker with a bad attitude. It's best to keep two seperate messenger ids... one for close friends and people you trust, and another for strangers so you can talk to them and get to know them before you add them to your trusted messenger list.

I don't normally chat with anyone, but e-mail addresses are different, I use a site that allows for unlimited e-mail addresses, which enables me to use these addresses for individual people or companies, so I always know who the e-mails are from, and it also helps to fight spam (I can get 200-500 spam e-mails every day). With e-mail I can block anyone who I don't want to receive e-mails from. The only chat I have used is the one set up on Gabbly by some MyLot users.

No, I am very selective who I give my MSN name to. Chatting is nice but for me working online IMs can be both annoying and intrusive. I don't want to feel like I have to "hide" from people but being interrupted when on a train of thought with "hey whatch doin" or "wanna chat" interfer with my work because most people won't take a quick "I'm working" - they then want to know what I'm working on, how long I'll be, and a list of other questions. The few people I share my IM with now (after learning the hard way) understand and if I say "working" they leave it at "ok, later" or don't IM me they wait for me to say hello.

This happens all the time only if you are online.I always check his or her personal information first, and then decide whether add them or not.Generally, I only join the friends of mine. I am a college student majoring in English.So I hope I can share your time.

Frankly tell you that I like it very much. I am using Yahoo messenger to chat and I got so many friends through chatting. So I feel that every one should take care while giving or reveal their name to chat friends. You will give ur name only after confirming the friend is trustworthy and he is chatting with you in real nature. Few people are chatting with false ID and they dont reveal their original identity hence there is a chance to cheatted by them.
