Alot of people in the world use instant messaging for all sorts of need, whether its business, personal or social use. I think by cutting it out it will cause problems and the effects will be colossal as you can always email but it takes alot longer to send and receive so this is how instant messaging works and how its a more effective way of contacting someone.
IM and VoIP
IM (Instant Messaging)- Real-time conversation between two or more people using Internet. It involves "talking" to someone by typing messages. It allows quick and easy communication.
IM providers:
- MSN
- AOL
- GTalk
- Skype
- Yahoo
IM chat using MSNVoIP (voice over Internet Protocol)- Simillar to Instant Messaging, but here sound is being sent. It is like making a telephone call but using internet. To use VoIP through computer you will need headset or speakers and microphone. You may also buy a webcam so your friends will see you. Most of the time making call this way is is free (for example using skype) but some VoIP service providers charge a membership or monthly fee. You can also get a special telephone to use VoIP.
VoIP providers:
