Schafermeyer M.J (1998). Hence after the introduction of e-mail since has been a form of focal information dissemination tools in all organisations that understand the value of most recent information to its business. As well as for personal use to socialize, e-mail has become a part of peoples' way of life replacing the traditional snail mail. At present conveniently available is Instant Messaging (IM) that incorporates all e-mail features added with more advance characteristics compared to e-mail. One unique capability that surpasses e-mail is its ability to communicate real-time via voice, typed messages, and via video conferences. Due to its advance competencies in facilitating communication and disseminating valuable information hence this paper intention is to promote IM as an alternative device to e-mail for the purpose of knowledge sharing in a workplace. © 2009 IEEE. 2009-12-09T08:19:29Z 2009-12-09T08:19:29Z 2009-08-08 Working Paper p.268-269 978-1-4244-4519-6 http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?=&arnumber=5234577 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/7389 en Proceedings of the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Computer Science and Information Technology (ICCSIT 2009) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
