Group Task
GROUP TASK
I meet Chris (a university peer) on skype chat room (Curtin), we exchanged our emails in hotmail, and then logged onto MSN to start conversation. Chris is from Glasgow, and has visited Australia, namely Brisbane and the Gold coast, and enjoyed his time immensely.
He is a hard worker and has to work and study at the same time. Chris and I discussed the pro's and con's of MSN; MSN voice quality is not always good, the camera is slow to process pictures, which may be influenced by the connection line. Moreso, Yahoo messenger is better than MSN in voice and vision quality.
Both Yahoo and MSN has a write board device, enabling one to change the font and the colour. Yahoo also allows you to change the background colour and image, record voice messages and can send files to a person you are speaking with.
Also, you can classify your contacts to groups and make new groups as there is a phone book option to add such contact details (name, alias, phone number).

NEWSGROUPS
What are Newsgroups?
Newsgroups are discussion forums or bulletin boards - places where individuals post messages for others to read and respond to. They are discussions on a particular subject consisting of written notes by people around the world and redistributed through Usenet, a world-wide network of news discussion groups.
Once a news group is found, messages can be posted or read. Newsgroups are open to anyone who has access to the Internet. Your message potentially could be read by people all over the world. Newsgroups are different from other Internet discussion forums. Unlike chat forum, which demands your immediate attention and requires you to be fairly brief, newsgroups allow you to post and read longer, more thought-out messages at your leisure.
They are different from mailing lists in that you can choose the specific articles you want to read rather than having them all sent to your mailbox and reading all one by one, and one can join newsgroup-style discussion forums at certain Web sites.
