IM or Email?

Email is much btter

I prefer email for most things. The reason is that if I'm busy right then, I can wait and give the item my full attention later on and give it the response it deserves. Having the email sitting in my inbox reminds me it needs to be responded to. If I'm talking back and forth to someone about something and it's an ongoing conversation that's going to last for a few minutes or neither one of us is busy and we both know it, I like IM for that, though.

i prefer email

Email is better for going back and forth on ideas with business, stories, group assignments, family things, and especially when you're mad with someone and want to get it out. Email is a great barrier to social contact. IM is great for quick responses to questions or the "I'm really bored" feeling we get at work or school. I'd say I prefer email, because I tend to have a lot to say :)

i prefer instant message ~ but email is good for a back up!

email because at least you ave time to think about what you want to say

IM it gets the message back and forth faster. Besides, at times I canbe impatient and lazy. I'd get bored waiting for a repsonse via email and I'd move on to something else.

Well, IM is instant so I prefer that but e-mail is fine too.

IM

I prefer IM because you can talk pretty much immediately to the other person. If that person is offline, certain IM programs let you leave them offline messages. I find it much easier than typing an email.

Email

I prefer Email!

getting im's every 15 seconds is annoying when you're trying to do stuff on the net, email is much better

It depends on who. My best friend and I IM all day long, it is cheaper then calling on the phone. Family normally email.

e-mail much better

I like using both. But I prefer the email. I can write and send it anytime and they can respond at their leisure.

I like both... E-mail is a bit slow than IM's

email ...

IM, is always better to get instant communication
