During the week 7 lecture, the long-haired lecturer ventured into freeware, including the differences between legitimate and fake ones, the beauty and uses of freeware, his own online creations and so forth.
Encouraged in tutorials to download some form of freeware and discuss it, I decided to download the always popular Windows Live Messenger. The program is an instant messaging system on which you can add other users and view when they're online, communicating through typed messages sent instantly.
This program allows me to speak to someone I have on my contacts list from anywhere in the world where internet is available. I have several contacts from the UK who I am able to speak to instantly. The program also allows for fellow contacts to be able to see which song I am listening to through media player or iTunes if I choose to enable that function. Emoticons, animations and the infamous 'nudge' can be sent to other users, to grab their attention or perhaps speak a message which could not be said another way.
Another active function of the program is the ability to personalise it, including the use of a display name, a display picture and a coloured frame surrounding the conversation window.
Easily the most prominent instant messaging program on the internet, Windows Live Messenger is a personal favourite of mine.
Thanks.
