The Role of Instant Messaging by Justo Almodovar


Instant messaging is a communications service that allows the exchange of text messages in real time between two or more people on computers, cell phones, or personal digital assistant (PDAs). Instant messaging can be a fast, convenient method for exchanging messages and sharing files with collegues, suppliers, and partners and that is great because then all of your colleagues will be getting all of the information in a quickly manner. Unfortunately the one thing that may hinder the productivity using instant messaging is that you need to make sure that your colleagues have the same instant messaging software that you have because if not you would not be able to use instant messaging to transport ideas. Instant messaging can be used when an intranet for an organization is down, you can use instant messaging to communicate on how to repair the problem with the IT department of the organization, all of this according to the ninth edition of Writing That Works.
