Let’s say you are in a party…..no one has specifically arranged for this one…no invitations, no plans…..you are just there for some reason….there is a big hall where everyone is gathered and a small room in the corner….the room is made of glass which is transparent from inside and not from outside…..now you enter the party and quickly get into the small room….you can see everyone entering and leaving the hall….but no one can see you…..when someone enters, you decide if you would like to talk to him/her….you call out to people who you would want to talk to and get back into the room…..but what about people who would want to talk to you…..they wouldn’t know if you are present…..so why get into the room??
Sounds crappy??...he he….it actually is…..but this is what I imagine when I see the status ‘invisible’ or ‘appear offline’……somehow it is kind of irritating to realize that someone is online but not visible…..i do that sometimes but not all the time…..maybe it is understandable for people who are extremely popular or have a huge set of friends who would bombard them with messages as soon as they come online….has never happened to me….so will never understand :-)
People who wanna tlk to u can always leave messages.
ReplyDeleteIn some cases ,the chat servers are disabled but the mail access still is on. So they can reply to their mails but not chat.
And its not so much alike as the one sided room u describe.
It wld be more appropriate to say there was small box kept near the door which allows anyone who wants to tlk to them to leave messages.
