     The lifecycle of a chat program for me:

     1) Ugh. Who the hell would want to use that? I have X and it works fine.
     2) Huh, someone mentioned it again. Wonder what this is.
     3) (Installs)
     4) (Plays around with it)
     5) Holy shit! This is life changing! Breathtaking!
     6) (Spends the next few weeks cajoling my friends to try to use the new hotness).
     7) Ugh. Who the hell would want to use that? I have Y and it works fine.

     Rinse, repeat.

     (Note: Not a call for your process or your chat program du jour. I have Y and it works fine.)
