Instant Messaging (IM based on typed text. The ) is a form of real-time communication between two or more peopletext is conveyed via computers connected over a network such as the Internet.
Instant Messaging is not email, SMS, or MMS allthough Instant Messaging can also be done on mobile phones on the internet or on WAP.
Instant messaging (IM) and chat are technologies that create the possibility of real-time text-based communication between two or more participants over the internet or some form of internal network/ intranet. It is important to understand that what separates chat and instant messaging from technologies such as e-mail is the perceived synchronicity of the communication by the user - Chat happens in real-time before your eyes. Some systems allow the sending of messages to people not currently logged on (offline messages), thus removing much of the difference between Instant Messaging and SMS, MMS or e-mail.
