I was flipping channels and came across ZDTV’s Call For Help where Martin, the cute bearded host, was demoing AOL Instant Messenger live. As he was showing how to send an IM on-screen, he was suddenly barraged by a million IMs from at-home viewers (okay, maybe 5 or 6 – it’s only ZDTV) who read his username off the monitor.

No. I didn’t IM him. He’s cute, but not that cute.
