Do You Know The Concept of Instant Messaging (IM)?

Do You Know The Concept of Instant Messaging (IM)? If You Want to know so see the following Information......!!

Instant messaging (IM) allows two or more people to contact each other via direct, live communication. To use instant messaging, you register with an instant messaging server and then specify a list of Friends. Whenever you connect to the Internet, special software informs your messaging server that you are online. In response, the server will notify you if any of your friends are online. At the same time, it notifies your friends that your friends are online. You can then send messages directly back and forth to one another. Most instant messaging programs also include video conferencing features, file sharing, and remote assistance. Many businesses routinely use these instant messaging features.


The Most widely used instant messaging services are Rediff BOL Instant Messenger, Microsoft’s MSN Messenger, one limitation, however, is that many instant messaging services do not support communication with other services. For example, at the time of this writing,  a user registered with yahoo cannot use yahoo’s instant messenger to communicate with a user registered with Rediff BOL. Recently, however, some software companies have started providing universal instant messenger programs that overcome this limitation. For example, Gain Odigo, and Trillian provide instant messaging services that do
support communication with other services.

PROVIDERS

The most common way to access the Internet is through an Internet service provider (ISP). The providers are already connected to the Internet and provide a path or connection for individuals to access the Internet. Your college or university most likely provides you with free access to the Internet either through its local area networks or through a dial-up or telephone connection. There are also some companies that offer free Internet access.

  The most widely used commercial Internet service providers are national and
wireless providers.

•    National service providers like BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited), VSNL (Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited) are the widely used. They provide access through standard telephone or cable connections. Users can access the Internet from almost anywhere within the country for a standard fee without incurring long-distance telephone charges.

•    Wireless service providers offer Internet connections for computers with wireless modems and a wide array of wireless devices. As we will discuss In Chapter 9, users connect to ISPs using one of a variety of connection technologies including DSL, cable, and wireless modems.
