My favorite ways to communicate online is probably on the phone. It's probably better than blogging or instant messaging with people. Talking on the phone with people has so many more ups appose to instant messaging. Talking on the phone you can hear the tone of how the person is taking in what your saying to them. In my opinion its better than hiding your face behind a computer screen. Its the closest thing to talking to them in person. Its a bit more personal than txting, or instant messaging.

I usually stick to communicating via Facebook. It's more convenient than email or an instant messager because it's pretty much both rolled into one. It's also easier to find people, because people use their real names (except for all the people who change their names to stupid things with eight last names) and very many people use it. There are also group chats, wall posts, pictures, and things. Aside form Facebook I text more than I call people just because when I text I can do other things at the same time, and texting is, in my opinion, more appropriate in public. Also it's more effective at getting short messages across. Other than for school purposes I don't use email much, and I favor voice chat on xbox over skype because the only time i would want to talk to my friends via voice would be when we're playing a game or something together.

My favorite way to communicate is via chat on Facebook. This is the easiest way for me to get my point across, quickly and thoroughly, and I feel like the person is getting my point exactly as I am trying to convey it. There is also a great amount of control regarding who you can talk to and who you don't want to talk to. That being said, my least favorite method of communication is Inboxes on Facebook. If somebody else makes an inbox, you can't get rid of them or anything, so if you didn't make the inbox, and you don't want somebody who was invited to come, or something, you have no control in the situation. I honestly can not stand inboxes on facebook.

My favorite way to communicate depends on the person I'm talking to. If I'm talking to a close friend, I prefer phone conversations, but with people I'm not as close with I'd rather text because its easier and more to the point. For talking to teachers and adults I like using email, but I don't it with friends because it feels kind of impersonal. Facebook can be convenient because so many people have it, but the chat gets messed up pretty easily and can be frustrating.

My favorite way to communicate online is texting. However, I do like skype if I have the time for it. Skype is a lot better than making phone calls, not just because you can see the other person, but because the sound quality is a lot better than phones. Texting is nice because it is fast and easy.

I would say e-mail is my favorite way to communicate online, but only on the computer. On the computer there are many things, like facebook, in which if you want to communicate with someone you have to be attentively watching the screen. But computers are different. You have to have constant access to a computer to do those things, such as facebook, twitter, and e-mail. The thing about mobile phones is that they give us freedom to move around yet still be in touch. When I'm talking to someone formally, I prefer e-mail or calling someone. But when I'm just talking to someone, texting just makes more sense. Though very informal, I can go out some where and, if it's urgent enough, be alerted right away and go somewhere. If someone needs me at the moment and they e-mail me or send me a message on facebook, I may not get it for a week. But most of the time, my phone is in my pocket, so I would probably get your message instantaneously and come to aid you. That's why texting just makes more sense.

My favorite way of communication is texting. I almost always have my phone on me and it's quick and so easy to text someone. It's also nice if you read the message, but don't have time to respond so you can easily later. I also like using Facebook, with the many convenient ways to communicate. There's chat, inboxes and wall posts, all of which are so easy. It's also so easy to go to Facebook with all the ways we now have. I can use my phone, iPod and the computer.

It depends who I'm talking to when I am communicating online because if I need to tell someone something important or share a story, calling is the first option I will turn to. However, texting and IMing is very convenient in other cases when I am talking casually with my friends. The bad thing about texting is that you are just sending words and no one can see your reactions or how you feel when you are saying them, so many things can come out the wrong way or opposite of what you meant. Phone calls are a very good way of communicating, but there are often situations where I can't talk on the phone and have to text someone.

My favorite way of communication is though instant messaging. It's very easy to do and doesn't require much energy. Your able to abbreviate words & send short messages quickly rather then emails where you dont even know if the person is on their e-mail. I also prefer it to texting and calling because calling requires too much energy and when texting your phone keeps buzzing or ringing which is really annoying.

My favorite ways to communicate are through email and texts. I like these methods best because they are always on my terms. I can decide who i want to talk to and when. I like having control over when i am communicating being able to know exactly who will be looking at my messages. Email and texting is more personal than other forms of communication because they are usually (at least for me) used for talking to one other person. I also like not feeling pressure to respond instantly and emailing gives me that option. Texting gives me a quicker way of talking to someone and getting a response, so a combination of using the two methods covers all options i want making them good systems for me.

My favorite form of online communication is texting. Its more convenient then email or Facebook because you can access it anywhere you have phone service. A lot of people also always have their phones, so it’s easier to directly contact them. With Facebook you have to wait for them to log in and then reply, which you can only see after you log in yourself. Also with texting you usually get a quick answer and you don’t have to wait around for them being online. also everyone has phones so you can always text them or just give them a ring!

My favorite way to communicate is on IM, because chatting on facebook gets you too distracted and texting is a hassle. I also like video chatting, because it's the closest you get to face to face contact with someone else. IM is helpful because it can be just a side thought on your computer screen, which is helpful in focusing

my favorite way of communicating online is through texting or facebook. on text you can send one whenever, and the person can reply whenever. on facebook, there's many different ways to communicate. you can through an inbox, to have a chat through instant message on facebook, and if you just want to make someone's day you can write on their wall. also texting and facebook are easy ways to get in touch with people these days, considering everyone i know my age or above has a phone and a facebook. talking through technology is a good way to keep in touch and stay close to the people you don't see a lot.

I like the messaging on facebook. It makes it so I can speak with my friends very easily, and do stuff on facebook at the same time. However, it also makes it so that you're juggling three conversations at once, and you can't surf the web while talking to someone, which is something that I do a lot when I'm just on facebook. I also like blogs, but only about things that I really like. I know some really good blogs, but I also know some really bad ones. Sometimes it's hard to sort through all the bad and find the good.
