Online Presence

Milan Stankovichttp://milstan.net

“… the point of frequent messages is not information sharing; it is emotional connecting. They are ways of saying to one another, “I am here”, “you are there” …”

Emotional Design, Don Norman 2004

“The real power of IM isn’t the message (though that is a key attribute) but it’s the presence detection.”

Emotional Design, Don Norman 2004
