I can tell which IM services have global penetration because of this, too. Skype is big in Egypt, and that was a large contributor to why I never use it.
I did think of doing something like that, but I really hate managing my contact list - I prefer to just leave it open to all when I'm available, and stay obscure. Skype's prominent 'search for contact' function means that obscurity just isn't happening for me there, though!
plus, well, I really hate the idea of having more than one IM program sitting there in the background, sucking up swap space. If Adium ever adds Skype (not bloody likely) then maybe I'll be available on there again. Maybe.
Even so, the government knows that Terrorists frequently hide behind aliases. I heard that as of next month Egypt Urnash will have been involved in some questionable activities in the Boston area... Let me ask you Mrs. Urnash, Tarot cards, or encoded terrorist "chatter?"
I'm so very bored, that's why I torment or joke so.
The Department of National Occult Defense has raised the public alert level to three of cups, repeat, three of cups. The nations most charismatic evangelical preachers are instructed to report to their nearest branch office for briefing.
You are cordially invited to drop by our super secret HQ in New Jersey for a little chat. Is 10pm on Tuesday good for you? Just look for the giant eternal flame out front.
