This article will show you different ways on how you can stay connected with friends and family members online, no matter where they are in the world!
With the wonderful invention of the Internet, many programs and sites have risen to help you keep in touch with friends and family. Some of the top include:
1. AIM- This free instant messenger allows you to create a screename, and chat with others who use it. It is a program that you can install, or use directly from the web. However, the program has many more benefits. Go to http://www.aim.com to learn more and install!
2. Facebook- Facebook is one of the best social networks on-line in my opinion. It allows for instant messaging, individual status updating, private messaging, and uploading/commenting pictures. It is free, and might be a bit addicting. You can visit this site by going to http://www.facebook.com.
3. Myspace- Myspace is similar to facebook in many ways. However, it also allows you to freely edit your own page using HTML. There are some restrictions, but there are still many things you can do to make you Myspace page represent you, everywhere from background pictures and font styles, to playing the music you like right on your page. Go to http://www.myspace.com to visit this website!
4. Skype- Skype is a free service that allows you to instant message, voice chat, and video chat other Skype users on the Internet. It is a program you have to download to use. You can also pay and use Skype as an Internet phone, and call landlines and cellular lines, but once again, this costs money. Go to http://www.skype.com to download and register for this program!
