Instant messages
Instant messaging (IM) (network service) is a way to send short, simple
text messages to online users, delivered over TCP/IP protocols. Your
contact list shows you when your contacts are online and available to
participate in an instant messaging conversation. When you have
written and sent your message, it remains displayed. The reply message
appears below your original message.
