Always eat with your right hand in Ghana; don’t show the bottoms of your feet in Lebanon; only give flowers in even numbers at Romanian funerals: Etiquette varies from country to country. With more and more people using the internet to socialize with others, the virtual realm has generated it’s own set of proper manners, too.
Did you know that you can send chat messages to your offline contacts via vox.io or SMS? That’s right—don’t turn to e-mail or Facebook! Stay on vox.io and shoot your friend an offline chat message and they’ll receive it immediately the next time they log in, or on their phones—it’s up to you.
All you have to do is type your message and then click the mobile icon (just like you see above). When the phone icon is blue, your message will be sent via SMS. When it’s grey, it will be sent as an offline chat message. Tip within a tip: Keep all of your conversations in once place by sending your longer messages via vox.io instead of opening an extra tab and writing an e-mail.
Earlier today while I was using vox.io to share funny videos with my friends, my psychology background kicked into gear and got me thinking, “Why do we share stuff online?” Instead of settling for my own speculations, I decided to scour the internet to discover what the research has to say about the motivations for sharing online content. Here’s some of the interesting stuff that I learned.
Vox.io Group Chat lets you talk to a group of your friends, relatives, or colleagues all together—but there’s more! You can use your Group Chat as your go-to hub for sending cool links, quick updates, and even longer messages to everyone all at once. We’ll keep all of your communications all together in one (awesome) place.
Whether you want to send your friends a funny video, a quick message about a celebrity sighting, or a longer message with changes to tonight’s plans, use a vox.io Group Chat to share it with multiple people in one place. You’ll receive any incoming Group Chat messages instantly whenever you’re online on vox.io. If a Group Chat member sends a message while you’re offline, you’ll receive it immediately the next time you log in. Think of it as a “fun feed” of links and messages between you and your friends. To top it off, the group conversation will always be saved in your history, so you can catch up if you’ve been out of touch for awhile.
Why use 3 or more websites for getting ahold of the people in your life when you can use just one instead? With a vox.io Group Chat, you can share fun stuff, little updates, or even long messages all in one place. We make it supereasy for you to stay in touch.
