    I'm one of those who just stopped using it after a while. Some of my friends continue to use it but I'd say only about 20% of them. Sort of like the MSN feature, seems cool at first, but then it becomes a waste of time.

I'm surprised they haven't added some type of idle icon for people like me, knowing Facebook hehe.
