Free Instant messaging software like Yahoo
and Windows Live/MSN Messenger are incredibly
popular. Despite popularity many people still
haven’t figured out what it is all about.
Basically all you need to do is pick a
platform or provider. Let’s say you pick
Windows Live/MSN Messenger.
You need to go to their website and set up an account if you
don’t already have one. You then download the program and type
in your friends email addresses asking permission to add them
to your list. Once you have a fully and functioning list you
can use your instant messaging program for many things such
as:
1) Instant messaging service also have a
range of other products available like file transfers, phone
systems and email bundled together which just makes your life
easier.
2) Instant messaging services are often
free programs that are quite small and don’t take long to
download.
3) You can keep in contact with friends and
family that you don’t have the time to phone or visit. You can
do this because you can have many conversations running at the
same time and because you can touch base every now and
then.
4) You can cut your long distance phone
call bill right down. If you could chat to Aunt Diane who lives
in England online, you wouldn’t have to phone her. So this
means the people that you do want to speak to for a long time
are just a mouse click away and for no extra cost!
As mentioned above when you are chatting on an instant
messenger you can be talking to heaps of people at the same
time. You will find that after you have done this for a while
you will become really good and figuring out whom you are
speaking to!
The one problem with instant messaging programs in the fact
that sometimes your words are not enough. This is where
emoticons come in. Emoticons are small picture that are coded
to come up easily and represent your emotions, tone and body
language.
1) Emoticons will ensure that you are never
stuck in the situation of having a joke misconstrued again.
2) Emoticons will help you really speak to
your friends and family with tone and care.
3) You can download free emotions from the
internet now!
