Here's another presence problem. I have two Windows PCs at home, a desktop and a laptop. I sat in front of the desktop this morning to eat my muesli and read the news and e-mail. I then powered up my laptop to edit a client document and mail it off. The laptop was then shut down. Now I'm back at my desktop PC.
Guess what I can see? Each IM client has a window telling me I've been logged off because I logged in somewhere else. Bloody useless! I'm BACK! HELLO! Why not just register my presence wherever I am?
Has nobody at Yahoo! or MSN ever actually studied how people use their products? Methinks not.
