Talk:instant messenger

RFV

RFV-failed sense from 2011: "Someone who uses such an application." (Not really the messenger, are they?) For reference, here is the one citation that Ruakh found: Equinox ◑ 00:56, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

1. • 2008, in R. David Lankes et al. (editors), Virtual Reference Service: From Competencies to Assessment,^[1] Neal-Schuman Publishers, →ISBN, page 39:

     Many instant messengers use all lower case letters, abbreviations, and smiley faces or other emoticons.

The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

I've added the only cite I could find. I assume it results from trying to create an agent noun from to instant message. —Ruakh_TALK 19:24, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
