Answers: Yes,IM & AIM or whatever...what is it? Explain to me pls?

instant messaging. why instant? because it uses the concept of presence. you login to the IM server which means you are present to those who have you in their contact list. so your friends who use the same IM system (yahoo, msn, aol, etc) and are logged in will be notified of your presence and can message you instantly. voila.

the software checks to see if you are present all the time. so if you leave the computer (you can be logged into the IM system but need to go away for a while) they software will tag you as inactive if you have been gone for longer than 15 minutes. that's presence. so your online friends see you online but away from the computer and wont bother to msg you.

so what is not presence? it's calling someone on the phone. you dont know if they will pick up the phone or not. with IM, you know if the other party is ready to chat.
