Getting Started with Some Instant Messaging programs |
||
| Before you start using Instant Messaging, if you plan on using it from your place of work, be sure it doesn't violate your company policy, or at least be aware if it does. Some companies don't allow instant messaging, some just block it, some companies don't let you install anything not authorized. Some companies don't mind and some use it as part of their process | ||
| Some people use Multiple Instant Messaging programs. There are a several programs available for free that are "universal IM interface" programs. These programs let you have just one window to be able to initiate a chat. Some of these require you to install each of the individual IM programs first. Here is a partial list of programs: | ||
| Trillian | ||
| Gaim - requires you have each IM client installed | ||
| Miranda | ||
Yahoo Instant Messaging |
||
| Go to www.yahoo.com | ||
|
Click on the messenger link (kind of a yellow smile
face) probably in upper right corner of page above
OR go directly via
|
||
|
You should see the option for something like
"Get it Now" and have a choice of what operating system your computer
uses. Just go from there.
|
||
| Some people like to establish more than one account for themselves. For example, one that has the word Work and the other Home in it so people will know where you are or so that you can contact from home to work. Some people choose to have just one that they use everywhere for anything. | ||
