Methods of communication
1. Email
The most common method of communication via the computer is email. Email is simple; you write a letter in a text editor provided by the email service, type in the email address of the recipient and click "Send." The letter is delivered almost instantaneously to the digital mailbox of the recipient, and you have saved the postage you would have had to use to send it via "snail mail." The most popular email providers, according to compete.com, areYahoo!, Hotmail and Gmail.
2. SMS, IRC and Video Chat
SMS (Short Messaging Service) chat is the kind of chat often sent from cellphones. It is also very commonly used in chat software like Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger or GoogleTalk. IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is quite different. You have to use an IRC "client" like mIRC, Chatzilla or XChat to access an IRC channel, and what you will find is an IRC channel is much like a chat room. Group chat is the default in IRC, whereas one-to-one conversations dominate SMS.
Video chat is a mixture of SMS thinking and VoIP technology. Using software like Skype, Oovoo or GoogleTalk, you can actually see the person via webcam so you can actually talk face to face. With a good high-speed connection and a quality webcam, video chat brings an element of nearness to the traditional phone conversation.
