A contact list is used in instant messaging to see when friends are online and communicate in real time. It can be used for personal or professional purposes and grows as the user comes into contact with others. It can be accessed on mobile devices and organized by categories.
A contact list is a list of contacts used as part of an instant messaging system. An instant messaging system works by allowing users to see when their contacts are online. By viewing a list of “friends” who are online, the user can send messages to their contacts and communicate in real time. A friends list can be used entirely for personal purposes, entirely for professional purposes, or a combination of the two. In some cases, a buddy list is used in a professional setting to allow colleagues to communicate with each other quickly and easily while performing other tasks and without having to leave their workspaces.
When a person first registers for an instant messaging service, they usually have no friends. The buddy list develops over time as the user comes into contact with people who use the same service. When registering for this type of service, a person usually has to come up with a nickname. This can be her full name or a name you make up.
A friends list usually grows quite rapidly in the days and weeks after a person first signs up for the service and grows incrementally thereafter. This is because most people sign up for an instant messaging system that is used by many of their friends, many of their colleagues, or both personal and professional contacts. This means that there is a built-in network of friends that the user can connect to shortly after registering for the service.
Depending on the type of instant messaging service a person signs up for, it may be possible to connect to a friends list using a mobile device. Some people prefer to use an instant messaging service that works on both computers and mobile devices so that they can chat with their friends on the go. This also allows people to stay in touch with everyone on their friends list even when they are away from their computers. This can be very useful for personal and professional purposes.
You can organize a contact list by contact categories. A person may be able to create categories for friends, family, and coworkers. This type of categorization feature is very useful for people who have a long list of contacts, especially if many of these contacts are regularly registered for the instant messaging service.
