Posted in Instant messaging tools           Comments Off on Facebook Messenger

Facebook Messenger is an instant messaging system application created by the Facebook company (now Meta), and incorporated into the Facebook social networks. The application, available on Windows and various mobile operating systems such as Android or AppStore, allows members of the social network to chat with their contacts without necessarily being connected to the website.

Facebook is currently developing a new feature on Messenger: a professional messenger to answer its customers. Its advantage? It will now be possible to switch from a personal account to the one of its professional page directly within the Messenger application, which will bring a considerable saving of time for companies.

Today, we believe that Messenger is one of the most interesting applications for professionals thanks to the age and scope of the Facebook network. Moreover, the platform is accessible to everyone and the design is professional.

Pros and Cons

Posted in General           Comments Off on Pros and Cons

Pros

First of all, let’s talk about the advantages of being able to talk instantly with our friends, family or work colleagues. Being able to send and receive messages in a very quick and simple way makes it easy to transfer and share information in real time. Being able to share and communicate easily with other people makes our daily lives much easier. Instant messaging applications have become so fundamental to our lives that it is only when we deprive ourselves of using them that we really realise how valuable they are. These applications allow us to work and communicate with several people without any real limits, we can create groups with 100 people in them without any problem or bug. Moreover, instant messages are overshadowing a widely used communication tool which is email. Indeed, the young generation prefers to send instant messages rather than emails. E-mails allow the sending of professional messages while instant messaging applications allow the sending of all types of messages!

Cons

On the other hand, instant communication can have undesirable and harmful effects. First, since we can access our phone without stopping, message notifications become a great distraction. As a result, our productivity can be negatively impacted. In addition, it can prevent us from enjoying the world around us. Then, if we give in to these distractions, instant messages can become an addiction. Indeed, as soon as we can send and receive information directly, we do not leave our phone or computer waiting for the next message. We become addicted. Finally, these instant messaging applications mix business and personal and this prevents us from making a clear distinction between the two. This can lead to conflicts at work or in your personal life.
