The impact of emerging technologies – the evolution of IM

Opinion article by Luis Suarez: Some time ago I created a weblog post over at elsua where I was indicating how I was almost at the point of giving up on Instant Messaging ever since more robust, in my opinion, real-time collaborative tools for knowledge sharing came on board: i.e. VoIP clients like Skype, Damaka, Google Talk, Gizmo Project, to name a few, that would allow you both to conduct IM conversations or VoIP conversations. Indeed, it has been a long while since I last started my MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ, AOL accounts in either of my computers to collaborate with other folks and somehow after having read The Impact of Emerging Technologies - The Evolution of IM, over at Technology Review, I doubt I would ever be going back !
