Can you keep up with more than one IM chat at a time?
I can’t. I just can’t do it. I get confused and send messages meant for one person to another person and before I know it all the conversations have gone off into the ditch.

I do it quite often. But yeah, you DO have to watch who you send what, LOL.
It gets easier after a week or so. you just have to go at it 2 at a time. and know where your mouse is. think about it, you say baby, i can’t wait to see you tonight, a message obviously meant for your significant other, to your best friend… that might get awkward. or they might play it off and expect to see you later that night… i dont know your best friend… :P All I’m saying is my girlfriend was pissed off later that night because I didn’t go and see her at work.
Sometimes I have a few and the chatroom open at the same time. I have dual monitors so it isn’t that bad.
And I post stuff in the wrong place all the time.
Yes, personally I find it pretty easy. It’s hard when I’m in the chatroom though, and trying to have a conversation with my husband at the same time. I get easily distracted.
I can do it, but I end up with a headache and didn’t really enjoy either exchange.
So, no.
I do it all the time… mess them up on occasion too.
Nope… can’t do it. I can barely even handle the chat room! I also can’t be on the phone at the same time.
I think you have to be young. I’ve seen my son keep up with seven while doing something else. One is almost too many for me.
I can do multiple IM conversations at once – it’s one IM and one real-life conversation that totally fries my brain. For some reason, I can’t switch back and forth between computer “talking” and real talking – I just get totally confused and sit there dumbfounded while people wait for me to answer…
