Ping! IM SLAPs business users
![]()
If you still think instant messaging is the domain of giggly teenagers, keep this in mind: A new study shows that IM is also the domain of giggly professionals. According to corporate IM vendor Omnipod, "serious" IMers love their acronyms as much as teens. While "LOL" (laugh out loud) and "OMG" (oh my God) may be considered teen IM, grown-up users in cubicles are likely to use "SLAP" (sounds like a plan), "BFO" (blinding flash of
the obvious) and "IHMB" (I hate my boss). Omnipod researchers found that "BRB" (be right back) is the most popular IM acronym in the workplace, followed by "CTRN" (can't talk right now), "IMO" (in my opinion), "HTH" (hope this helps) and "IAM" (in a meeting).
