Instant Messaging | |||
If two computer users are online they can send real-time messages to each
other. The speed of delivery is fast enough to be able to hold a 'conversation'
by typing text.
A commonly used service is Windows (MSN) Messenger. |
|||
|
|||
Conversations can be held between any number of people who
are online to the Internet. It is particularly useful for those with
broadband connections who remain online all the time.
|

Chat rooms are
websites where people can hold online real-time conversations. These
sites are divided up into 'rooms' so
people can find each other more easily.
|
WARNING! - People in chatrooms may not be who they say they are! |
