Chats are asynchronous
We live in a fast pacing world, were we need to juggle multiple things at once. There can be several reason for missing some ones 'Hi' in a IM.
By just writing a salutation and waiting for an answer you will waste both your and receivers time. Instead of just saying 'Hi', 'Hello', 'Good Morning', etc, also add your query.
For example:
Hi, how did the project meeting go yesterday?
Here are couple of example of status you have in your preferred IM platform:
- Please don't just say hello. Chats are asynchronous — nohello.net
- Don't just stop at hello, go ahead and tell me what you want to chat about! -- nohello.net
