When signing up for an account with Em9, there is a very brief setup screen that really only takes a couple of minutes to fill out. Then the account is basically set up, ready to use by logging on. As long as you are online and logged in, Em9 tracks which of your friends and associates are logged in as well.
Em9, in comparison to traditional chat, allows for more control over each session. Other systems tend to facilitate large, group-based discussions and don’t possess the ability to maintain and track lists of contacts. Em9 subscribers choose unique usernames and what other information to provide. This information allows Em9 users to recognize each other on login, and create lists of friends and associates to track. I.e., when anyone on a contact list gets on the system, Em9 alerts its creator, who can then contact them instantly.
