ANALYSIS ON SOME RECENT TRENDS IN CYBER MEDIA |
VOICE CHAT-VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOL |
Voice chat is a modern form of communication used on the Internet. The means of communicating with voice chat is through any of the messengers, mainly Yahoo!, AOL or MSN Messenger. Voice chat has led to a significant increase in distant comunications where two people from opposite ends of the world can talk almost free of cost.
Rocket Messenger and AOL were among the first to offer voice chat facilities. They were followed by Paltalk which became a quick hit. Later Yahoo Messenger became the most dominant voice chat service as it provided unique features.
These included individual voice chat with another person, as well as voice chat facilities categorized in Yahoo Rooms
Voice over Internet Protocol or VOIP, is a method for taking analog audio signals, like the kind you hear when you talk on the phone, and turning them into digital data that can be transmitted over the Internet.
How is this useful? VoIP can turn a standard Internet connection into a way to place free phone calls. The practical upshot of this is that by using some of the free VoIP software that is available to make Internet phone calls, you are bypassing the phone company (and its charges) entirely. |
