Ngemuva kweminyaka eminingana lapho inkampani ibingakaze yethule imisebenzi emisha, inethiwekhi yokuxhumana ayami ukungeza imisebenzi emisha, imisebenzi ukuzama ukugcina intshisekelo yabasebenzisi endaweni yesikhulumi. Kepha hhayi kuphela ngohlobo lwezinsizakalo, kepha futhi yethula nezicelo ezintsha zokuqhubeka nokuhlukanisa eminye imisebenzi yenethiwekhi yokuxhumana nabantu, njengoba yenza ngeFacebook Messenger.
