Is IM just
another type
of
electronic
communication
gadget along
with e-mail,
voice mail,
paging,
Blackberries,
and
cellular?
As
useful as
Talk2
PAL
IM can be to
co-workers
right down
the hall or
in the same
office, it
is likely
most
important to
those
co-workers
who are not
in the same
office.
Geographically
distributed
teams
constantly
face
communication
problems.
There is no
substitute
for the time
when
co-workers
simply "kick
things
around" as a
group to get
a project
completed or
a deal
closed. It
is just not
feasible for
this type of
communication
to take
place
between
teams with
members
located far
apart. Some
types of
real-time
communication,
such as
long-distance
telephone
calls and
video
conferencing,
are too
expensive
and can be
intrusive
and
bothersome.
PAL IM
relieves
these
problems
through free
unlimited
real time
communication.
Talk2
PAL
IM
can
help workers
meet
deadlines
and solve
unexpected
problems
through
instant
communication
and
feedback,
something we
cannot get
from e-mail.
IM:
What
it is and
Why Does it
Matter?

IM
technology
has
changed
our
world
to
the
same
degree
as
voicemail
and
email.
Talk2
PAL
IM
is
the
voice
of
the
oilfield/internet
and
perhaps
the
best
kept
secret
of
business
technology.
IM
allows
users
to
'talk'
in
real-time
with
each
other
through
short
text
messages
sent
over
the
internet.
Talk2
PAL
IM
was
developed
specifically
for
Oilfield
business
use.

With
Talk2
PAL IM
you can reach a industry specific
targeted audience, through messaging as
well as advertising on the banners at
the bottom of the PAL IM screen.

Simply put... Talk2
IM
keeps people notified. |

Talk2 PAL IM
has made significant inroads into the
Petroleum & Oilfield industry.
Business people are taking notice of the
advantages PAL IM can offer. Roughly 26
percent of American companies now use IM
as an official corporate communication
service, and an additional 44 percent
have employees that use IM on their own.
What is it about IM technology that has
so many companies adopting IM as a
serious business tool? The most obvious
and attractive advantage of this
technology, and the thing that appeals
to most business people, is its
immediacy. |

These messages can be between
two or more users in a chat
room. Chat room software allows
a group of people to type in
messages that can be seen by
everyone in the virtual room. To
contact another person,
Talk2
PAL IM users create a
"buddy list" by adding screen
names to their contacts list.
Anyone using the same PAL IM
program can be put on the buddy
list and contacted. The buddy
list advises the user when his
buddies are signed on and
available to chat. |
