And I know people who use IMs on their PC but not their phone. An IM doesn't necessarily get read any faster than an email.
None of the IMs I've used will actually tell me a message is read. It'll let me know if it fails to deliver, but that doesn't mean Jim is actually at his desk and saw it.
I wasn't claiming there aren't uses for IMs.
My claim was that email isn't useless.
Not everyone's use case is the same as yours.
