In Case You Didn’t Know, /Me Works In Messages On Mac

It’s Friday, and sometimes when we try to wind our week down something winds us back up. Today, it has to do with the app that a lot of us use the most on Mac…Messages.

Yes. You can use /me in a conversation.

/me did not know that.

But why no workie on iOS? :(

It’s something that’s available on a few other messaging platforms, including Google’s Hangouts, but the geek masses might not know that it’s available on Apple’s app.

Why is this cool? I don’t know. But I’ve done /me on IRC and pretty much every chatting platform that I can remember, even in the BBS days. Plus, I didn’t know it was possible. It’s potentially leftover from the days of iChat.

/me hopes you have a wonderful weekend.
