USA Today. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2001-06-21-teens-im-lasting.htm By Karen Thomas, USA TODAY Breaking up. Making up. Making plans. Asking out. Saying "hey." From the mundane to the emotionally charged, there are no limits to the ways today's kids connect and bond over instant messages (IMs) — those pop-up text windows used for carrying on real-time conversations online. "It's not just empty chatter. They're using (IMs) to have difficult conversations — someone's talking behind your back and you want to confront them," says Amanda Lenhart of the Pew Internet & American Life project. Its survey, out Thursday, finds that nearly three-fourths of online kids ages 12 to 17 rely on IMs to keep in touch with friends. Caroline Barker, 16, is among 35% of teens who use IMs daily; she chats with about 10 close friends and 50 acquaintances in the Bethesda, Md., area. "It's especially good for making plans, or if you're just bored," she says. "It's a given that everybody has it," adds her friend Valerie Hutchins, 15. These Maryland friends IM while doing homework, talking on the phone and watching TV. And they offer insight to the complex social rules that come with a form of communication that still has many adults bewildered.

  • Instant Messaging
    Instant Messaging what’s so gr8 about it? Cybertour | March 18 | Cindi Trainor 1 What is IM? Communicate real-time Users are notified when others come online Can share files, communicate via video with most programs IM vs “chat rooms”: When chat first came about, a user would log into a room full of people who were all interested in the same topic, and all those people saw everyone’s messages, but users could send “private” messages to an individual, if desired. IM is kind of the opposite: users primarily send messages to individuals but can set up multiple user chat rooms if desired (but users control who’s in a multi-user chat by invitation). 2 Why Use IM? Instant communication Send links, files, photos instantly Can multi-task Our users are familiar with it 3 Common Features Contacts list “Display picture” – an Customize your icon representing you messages’ Privacy features appearance Log conversations Games Set your status: Send and receive “away,” “offline,” files “busy,” etc. Multi-user chat Emoticons (“smilies”) Profiles With major IM programs, users add only the people that they want to chat with to a contacts list (buddy list, friends list). Messages’ appearance: font face, color, size Files: photos, dox, etc (can sometimes be slow vs using email with attachments) Multi-user chat: “chat rooms” Icons: some are static, some are animated or even customizable “avatars.” Privacy: can set it so that only your buddies can contact you; most have invisible mode 4 But… chat reference? IM is chat reference Hosted systems can be expensive, OR Use IM to supplement hosted system If you aren’t using chat reference in your library, IM is a cheap alternative to hosted systems to get your feet wet.

  • A Survey of Open Source Products for Building a SIP Communication Platform
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation Advances in Multimedia Volume 2011, Article ID 372591, 21 pages doi:10.1155/2011/372591 Research Article A Survey of Open Source Products for Building a SIP Communication Platform Pavel Segec and Tatiana Kovacikova Department of InfoCom Networks, University of Zilina, Univerzitna 8215/1, 010 26 Zilina, Slovakia Correspondence should be addressed to Tatiana Kovacikova, [email protected] Received 29 July 2011; Revised 31 October 2011; Accepted 15 November 2011 Academic Editor: T.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a multimedia signalling protocol that has evolved into a widely adopted communication standard. The integration of SIP into existing IP networks has fostered IP networks becoming a convergence platform for both real- time and non-real-time multimedia communications. This converged platform integrates data, voice, video, presence, messaging, and conference services into a single network that offers new communication experiences for users. The open source community has contributed to SIP adoption through the development of open source software for both SIP clients and servers. In this paper, we provide a survey on open SIP systems that can be built using publically available software. We identify SIP features for service deve- lopment and programming, services and applications of a SIP-converged platform, and the most important technologies support- ing SIP functionalities. We propose an advanced converged IP communication platform that uses SIP for service delivery.

  • Instant Messaging on the Internet: Interoperability Issues of Competition and Fair Access
    Order Code RS20688 Updated March 28, 2002 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Instant Messaging on the Internet: Interoperability Issues of Competition and Fair Access name redacted Analyst in Information Science and Technology Policy Resources, Science, and Industry Division Summary Instant Messaging (IM) is one of the fastest growing Internet applications. The recent debate about IM is related to the broad issues of open access rules and competition in the high speed Internet service and cable television markets. Although IM technology has evolved largely independent of formal regulation, a review of the AOL-Time Warner (AOL-TW) merger brought issues of interoperability (the ability to exchange messages between multiple IM services) among IM services under scrutiny both in the US and Europe. Concerns about open access and accessibility for the disabled, have been raised by Members of Congress, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and the European Commission (EC). These issues highlight the growing complexity of regulating converging technologies. This report discusses the technology behind instant messaging and provides an overview of the issues. It will be updated as necessary. Background Instant messaging (IM) is one of the fastest growing free services on the Internet. IM combines the immediacy of a telephone call with the network presence of electronic mail (e-mail) to create an instantaneous system for exchanging messages between two people. In its simplest form, IM applications are used for the synchronous exchange of text messages. However, recent developments in IM technology also now allow users to exchange files, pictures, and even voice messages.

  • Instant Messaging Software Offers a Tantalizing Proposition: Combine the Speed of Real-Time Conversation with the Functionality of E-Mail
    Members Name ID # Andrew Hiew Antoni Kowalczewski X Introduction Instant messaging software offers a tantalizing proposition: Combine the speed of real-time conversation with the functionality of e-mail. Send quick notes to friends and colleagues; attach files, URLs, and even invitations to join group chat without creating large e-mail databases. The promise: Communicate, and collaborate, faster, better, and cheaper than ever before. Instant messaging has undergone some of the most explosive growth of any method of communication in history, and according to a recent Ziff-Davis article (1), “Instant messaging, by some accounts, is growing faster than any communications medium in history. AOL says its three instant-messaging services have nearly 80 million users, and crossed the 50 million mark in less than 2 1/2 years -- compared with five years for the Internet and 13 years for television.” It is plainly obvious that this technology is here to stay – it’s just a matter of time before it becomes as common as a telephone or even email. What makes instant messaging so appealing? X What is it? Presence & Instant Messaging software (or IM for short) allow people to communicate in real time over the internet, at speeds an order of magnitude faster than the next-fastest mode of communication, email. IM software allows users to create and maintain lists of contacts, friends, and acquaintances, and allows them to know exactly when they are using the Internet (or at the very least, when their friends have the IM application running). A quick glance at one’s IM client tells you exactly which of your friends are online, and what their status is – for example, in ICQ, users can be in one of many different modes – for example: Away, Available, Extended Away, Available To Chat, Busy, Do Not Disturb, etc.

  • LINKEDIN PROFILE CHECKLIST Profiles That Are
    LINKEDIN PROFILE CHECKLIST Profiles that are considered “complete” by LinkedIn’s standards receive 40 times more “opportunities” (contacts from prospective hiring managers and recruiters) than incomplete profiles, according to the social networking site. Filling in your profile improves your chances of being found by people searching for you specifically, or someone with your qualifications, credentials, and background. And that’s true even when using sites like Google and Bing. As LinkedIn’s own materials say, “LinkedIn profiles typically appear among the top search results when people search by name.” LinkedIn has its own criteria for “profile completeness,” which has changed somewhat over time. To be considered “complete” by LinkedIn’s standards, you need these items in your LinkedIn profile: A professional headshot style profile photo A headline that includes a searchable title (Administrative Assistant, Project Manager, IT Director) that includes your expertise or results (Administrative Assistant | Keeping executives on time, on task, and focused on the business operations. Project Manager | Leading teams to execute complex projects on time and on budget with high quality results.) Your industry and location An up-to-date current position (with a description) Three references for current position Two past positions Your education At least ten skills At least 50 connections To maximize your success in using LinkedIn in your job search, you should also complete these activities: Customize your LinkedIn profile URL (www.linkedin.com/in/yourname). If you’re including a link to your website or blog, customize the text link (rename it so it doesn’t just say “Personal Website” or “Company Website”).

  • Sample Chapter
    5674ch01.qxd_jt 9/24/03 8:44 AM Page 1 11 TheThe OnlineOnline WorldWorld 5674ch01.qxd_jt 9/24/03 8:44 AM Page 2 Today’s online world has changed dramatically in the last decade. Back then, online to the average user meant a telephone connection directly to either another computer or to an online service, such as CompuServe or AOL. The Internet now dominates all online activity. In popular parlance, the Internet is synonymous with the World Wide Web, although it is much more, as we’ll explain in this book. The Internet can be described generally as a “network” of networks. It is a transportation vehicle for applications. In fact, the visual representations of the Net look like a road map. If lines are drawn between each connection, between larger and larger connections, and between smaller and smaller ones, the end result is a web of connections—a virtual road map. This book is divided into four rough sections. The first is for beginners. It is to get anyone up to speed quickly with the information needed about the Web. Each chapter has recommended Web sites (to type the address, or Uniform Resource Locator [URL] into your Web browser) to help direct you. The second section has more detailed information about downloads, email, secu- rity, and information on virus protection. The third part is about how to create a Web site, Web tools, blogging, and what you can add to your Web site (such as streaming media, RSS feeds, and XML, among other things). The fourth part is by far the densest.
