Mediums of communication

--BBM- BlackBerry Messenger. This is a fairly new concept or form of communication that works along the same lines as an instant message, or text message. It's an instant messaging application on blackberries where you can see if the message has been delivered, when it was delivered and if the person has read it.

Blackberry messenger creates a new way of communicating between people from long distances, and also allows people to see their message's status, as far as if it's been sent, when it was recieved, and if its been read. It eliminates any confusion that existed with ordinary text messages prior to Blackberry Messenger.


-- Facebook Chat. Facebook chat is a new form of communication provided by Facebook.com. It works in much the same way as instant messaging, only it finds those who are online, as in on Facebook at a given time and allows you to chat with them.
