People like to leave >5 minute messages. Actually listening to them is a different thing. ;)

Certainly, and it really depends on the context.

For example, being far from family and friends, I love putting on my earphones, laying down and listening to my friends' messages.

The nice thing is that I can listen to these messages anytime my hands are busy but my brain isn't. Running, driving, biking, cooking are all more fun with a story from an old-friend in the background.
