Erin Y. - Instant Messaging For Professional Writing


Instant Messaging has become vital part of our lives. It is everywhere. We have IM (shortened name for instant messaging) on practically every electronic device. The next thing IM is going to take over is professional writing. Instant Messaging is a quick and easy way to have a conversation anywhere and at anytime. I use IM all the time but mostly for personal use. I do not even need to be on the computer. I can IM while I am on my phone or even my iPod touch. The best part is that IM services are free.
IM is a great tool for the business world. Business professionals can talk to other business groups through IM. Professional writers can have conversations via IM. Instant Messaging is a quick way to get information to business associates. You could send out an IM to everybody at once and it will pop right up. Its quicker than mail in that it pops up right away , you don’t have to wait for the person you’re sending the IM to read your message. A somewhat new feature with IM is video messaging. Instant Messaging services such as AOL instant messenger have a video chat option. This is a really cool option. You can look at the person you’re having a conversation with. You can also attach files through the message. That is really convenient for business people. You can send letters, resumes, and any other business documents quickly and be able to get a response instantly. Instant Messaging is going to take over the business world before you know it. Luckily for our generation that will not be a problem considering we use it practically every day. In the near future be on the lookout for instant messaging in your job!

  3. I used to use AIM all the time, but I too only used it for personal use. I can only imagine how useful it'd be for professional writing. Emails are good but can take too long. AIMs are instantaneous, thus being perfect for quick chat.
