Computer Related Theme (Software) – Social Networking (Chatting Software)

         If you are an introvert person, who doesn’t like to face-to-face talking, here is some software that allows you to not chatting face to face, yet still can communicate well between them. So, what is the software that can function as your social channel in your life? Here we go:

1.      Window Live Messenger
What’s on Windows Live Messenger? Yes, it includes support for the instant messaging initiative! It contains simple interface, less “confusing” towards user, easy to sharing files, Yahoo and AOL messenger support also. Window Live Messenger is compatible with most operating system. You can send text message to your contact’s phones (SMS) for free! Not only with that, WLM has the greatest function share photos and videos while you chat. Video chat in high definition or send a video message to a friend. (E.g. Chat face–to–face in high definition (HD) using a webcam.) And connect your social networks to see important updates in one place—Messenger. That’s mean it is the best way to stay in touch with your friends.
The limitation is Sometimes it crashes and the sound is not always good and you can only talk to someone who has Windows live email address.
If you want to try window live messenger, kindly click on this link  http://explore.live.com/windows-live-messenger?os=other and click the Download button to get this software. Boever, Instalation quite be a long way to go, that means you need to untick the program that you don’t want to installed other than Window Live Messenger.(Because WLM always offer other than messenger,such as window live movie maker)


2.      Yahoo Messenger
What’s new on Yahoo Messenger? Yahoo Messenger is a free service that allows you to see when friends come online and to send them instant messages. It also can alert you to new e-mail in your Yahoo Mail or Yahoo Personals accounts, or when you have upcoming events recorded in your Yahoo Calendar. Yahoo Messenger offers firewall support, a standby mode that minimizes the program until an Internet connection is made, the ability to save and print your conversations, and a tabbed interface that provides quick access to your favorite stocks, news, and sports scores. Yes, it also support the video chatting and recently it had improve the language support for more user to use it.
But the pitfalls for yahoo messenger was it does not support video messages, arranging status by category, cannot sync your contact status messages with other networks, no notification for social updates.

*Agee’s Notes:
Actually there is still a lot of Chatting software in website, such as those ICQ, Skype (familiar right?), Google Talk, AIM and so on. Is too much if I’m going to tell all of these software in this post..haha!
Recently this social networking software were being substitute by the Facebook nowadays. Why? Ya, because of the All-In-One function! Definite obviously, everyone likes all-in-one function to help them save time to download and install multiple software... However, the function in Facebook still cannot substitute these social chatting software as it doesn’t pose all function in chatting software. (Such as video calling, animation pose, send files through software, easy, fast, and efficient.)So after all, what we rate these software depending on the user themselves as the user are more likely to using which software as long as their friend was using this software.[Means most of them are using either hotmail (for Window Live Messenger) or Yahoo mail (for Yahoo Messenger)..]
