I agree with the comments of meeting random people. Could be cool for kids who make up their stats and have multiple names to talk trash and run. Personally, though I've met enough ant-social nutjobs online and really really do not want to run into more if i can help it. As for the other features like selecting groups of people and being able to click offline. I would never have people from work on my IM ist anyways. You spend all day with them if their not friends I think I could find better uses for my time.. like not talking to them LOL. I hope thats not the only “feature” that suppose to makes it “next gen”.
