For a full ten minutes during our dinner at Jerry's Deli we had to listen to some fool at the table beside ours have a monoversation with his daughter's soccer coach.
When you are involved in an instant message (Facebook, Google chat, etc.) conversation with more than three people; can result in exesssive and annoying notifications and confussion you are not actively involved in the conversation.
I just logged onto Facebook and had 47 messages because Diane included me in this crazy massversation with a bunch of people, and I have no idea what they are talking about.
A conversation exclusively held via e-mail, often occurring in real-time. One user may refresh his inbox repeatedly waiting for a reply to continue the conversation.
Gmail and Gchat blur the distinction between IMing and e-mailing noticeably.
"Hey, listen, I really can't make this a mailversation. You're clogging up my Hotmail."
"I had a hot mailversation with Susan last night: you should see all the dirty pics she e-mailed me!"
