Events is something I can't give up, unfortunately. With the death of street press it's easily the best (and often only) way to find out about gigs and raves, and my friends organise events on facebook too.

Australia's IM is dominated by Messenger too.

This is a really good point. Events are really one of the bigger things I miss too.

A fair number of my friends use Messenger because it's essentially the only thing other than SMS most everyone has. I use SMS and iMessage for a fairly decent sized group of friends.
