c3 Messenger Services
Introduction
Instant messenger services are now one of the most important means of communication worldwide. The significant increase in users, supported by the widespread use of smartphones, has completely turned the communication behaviour of people in the 21st century upside down. Whereas telephone calls used to be indispensable for communication, today it is short messages via WhatsApp and Co. These providers enable extremely flexible communication that is not tied to time or place - as long as there is an internet connection. Messenger services have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives, both privately and in business and professional communication. In contrast to analogue means of communication such as telephony, messenger services also enable the transmission of videos, pictures and documents.
The aim of this chapter is to get to know a wide variety of messenger services and to develop strategies on how we can evaluate the services for use in private and professional environments.
