COMPANIES ARE ALWAYS finding new ways of keeping their old customers and getting new ones. The saying is true for all those virtual companies on the Internet. Text messaging has become the order of the day for most young people in today's society. They have hooked themselves on to a Digicel or C&W phone and text for hours. Instant messaging, another form of real time text messaging, is also a big wave on the computer.
There are several Instant messaging applications available for free that any one can download from the Internet and install unto their computer. Over the years I have been using just about all of these instant messaging programmes, or I.M. for short.
Some of the popular instant messaging programmes on the market are ICQ, AOL IM, MSN and Yahoo, oh yeah, and the new comer Google IM.
POWER-PACKED FEATURE
Today I just want to share with you a new feature in MSN version 7.5, which is called Voice Clip. Voice Clip is a power-packed feature that allows an individual to send a 30 second clip of their voice instead of typing.
To use this Voice Clip feature, your computer must be equipped with a microphone and speakers. Once you have these setup, then you are ready, clip-away. Try it out today, by downloading your copy of the new MSN 7.5.
Here are some other cool and exciting features in the new MSN Messenger 7.5:
Nudge - Keep your con-versation 'moving' with a Nudge.
Video conversation - Share the laughter and see the smiles with Video conversation.
Audio - Talk it up with an Audio conversation.
PC to mobile messaging - Keep your friends close with PC-to-mobile phone messaging.
Photo Swap - Picture this! Share your photos right from MSN Messenger.
