What is Instant Messaging?

Instant messaging is an Internet service that allows you to send and receive text messages to your friends, coworkers, and family.

Think of Instant messaging as a faster version of e-mail, or a text-only version of your telephone. It's always on ( as long as Proteus is open, and connected to the Internet ), and instantaneous, allowing you to have real, one-on-one private conversations over the Internet with anyone who is connected with a messaging service.

Open Proteus for me
