Messaging Software Links 

If you've ever "chatted" on your computer you are basically sending instant typed messages to another person via the internet. This software allows you to converse instantly with another person or group of people. Most messenger service programs allow you to make a list of contacts and message them anytime you are online together. Messenger software is great for personal use and for corporate communications. It is essential for businesses to use instant messaging software (IM) when offering online support for their products and services. If you are worried about whom your children are messaging, or if they are involved in obscene chat lines, many of the programs come with profanity filters. You can also instant message another person via a microphone hooked up to your computer for live audio and send pictures at the same time via a digital camera. Most instant messenger programs also allow you to send and receive files.
