Instant Messaging
(also known as IM or IMing)
Instant messaging allows a sender to type a message and then instantly send that message to a recipient on another computer. Anyone who is signed on to the instant messaging program and has an Internet connection can exchange messages in real time, and multiple messages can be sent to several people at once. Recent advances in technology allow text messaging with cell phones.
Caution!
- Like chatrooms, you should never give out any personal information unless you are 100% sure of who you are communicating with.
- Some instant messaging services allow video chatting in real time, which requires a camera or a video device on your computer that is used in corporation with typing.
- Some services encourage you to enter information about yourself into a "profile" with personal information, such as your age, sex, location, interests, etc. While it is not recommended to enter such information, it is even worse to post your name and address. These profiles can usually be seen by anyone.
- Be careful about what you say, because there is no way to "take back" something once you have entered it.

Interesting how many instant messaging services there are. I have had people contact me who I did not know beforehand and it was strange. I can't say I'm a big IM user. It is very convenient for businesses and inter-communication between students who intend to work together.
