Instant Messenger

In my first post I was mentioned about IM. What is IM actually? IM is a short form of Instant messenger. I seldom use IM. But today I would make use of IM for my 4th post.

Why I seldom use IM? Before that let me tell you all about my history in internet. I came to know about internet when I was in form six. The first thing my friend told me is a/s/l. It's actually a short form of age/sex/location. He was telling the fun of chatting in the internet. Get to know friends in the internet world especially girls. During that time the two famous internet chit-chat software are MIRC and ICQ. People are use to chit chat with these two programme. But at that time the functions of these two programme were limited for sending instant message and photos only.

After graduated from college, I was totally give up on this channel and only use email for communication with friends. But the email providers are innovative. They didn't stop at this level to provide email to each other. They think how to make use of this huge community of email users. They realized that they have a huge email accounts and this could be another oppurtunity for them. From here there create a programme calls Instant Messenger. Instant messenger is simillar to MIRC and ICQ. But the Instant messenger is more advance. One of the advantages is you even can see whether your friends is online when you are reading your email. But the condition is both of you are using the same email provider, like yahoo! From there you might have instant message with your friends. Here you also can enter to the certain chat room to chit chat in certain topics and issues. But beware! you might be banned or get chased out from the chat room if you talk nonsense. You must have common interest with them.

Lately, When I open the instant messenger, I was discovered an icon of handphone. I was curious and click on it. I tried to send a msg to my handphone. It's reached my handphone! And it is FOC! But at this moment only celcom 019/013 can be reached. I was so excited therefore I sent this news to my friend. My freind told me to share this information in my blog. That's is why now I am writing this article. IM has many functions. You even can use it for video conferencing. But you must have the hardware like video camera. Before I forget, you have to download the IM software and install into your computer before you can use it. Just like ICQ.

Actually a lot of things can be done in the internet. A lot of imagination and creativity can put in for better communication and interaction. And this can make people get closer, get people connected from one side of other world. But be careful, we must make good use of internet. Temptation is everywhere in internet.
