Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
It's a programming thing. && means and, || means or, == means "is equal to".
Either that or they're trying to be cool.

Haha, no, not at all.
I don't really get why other peopel do it either. I guess they think it looks cute and stuff, cause have you ever noticed whenever girls make their profiles and stuff, everything's all lined up? Well I guess it looks cute, and it helps align all the words and everything.
To me, it sounds dumb. Cause if you really think about what they're saying they're gonig "peaches and and cream", which looks silly wheneevr I imagine people really saying it, haha.
I hope I helped.

In javascript and other scripting/programming languages, && is the operator for and. So i<=5&&i>=0 means i is less than or equal to 5 AND greater than or equal to 0. That's my theory on how that originated.

No reason. People think it looks cute && cool. Just Kidding.

Maybe they have a stutter? ;0)
Sorry, I felt like giving smart-alec answers today, and I should have resisted.
But yes, I suspect they think it's cute, or that it expresses a certain emphasis or excitement about what they're discussing.

They think it looks cute.

Simply because they are ignorant and infantile. :(

I do that alot because i just think it looks better. I usually put call&&txt and i think that looks better than call&txt.
Its just kinda what you perfer more.

When people started making xanga layouts, they could make the fonts italicize/bold/underline pretty. '&&' filled up more space when they need to italicize/bold/underline, then it just caught on.

some people like to do that...personaly...i think its stupid but i have a habit of doing taht on AIM
people think its funny and cute but its SO annoying
man! i gotta stop doing && on AIM!

Some people just think it looks cute. There's no true meaning for it. Possibly an emphasis on the word and? But it's really just because for some reason they think it looks good.
I did go to urban dictionary and apparantly there is one correct use for the '&&'. So if you're interested in what others had to say about using '&&' you can visit this link.
