Hi Folks, For a student working on a research project I'm trying to track down some academic research on Instant Messenging. In addition to the Pew reports, does anyone have some good cites of recent work on any area of IM use? Thanks, Mark

There is a lot out there - use the ACM's digital library - www.acm.org - you will able to get the abstracts if not the full papers using your local libary Steve Whittaker on Outeraction Ellen Isaacs - on sound based IM Herbsleb on IM in the workplace Voida on IM message attributes There is an aweful lot more in that library if you look.
