Bien qu'il n'existe pas actuellement de consensus clair en termes de définition de la traque furtive, il existe cependant un certain nombre de points communs entre les différentes définitions utilisées. Ainsi, il faut : une victime et un persécuteur, dont les conduites relèvent du harcèlement, se manifestant par une intrusion répétitive et non sollicitée de la part du harceleur dans la sphère privée de la victime, un sentiment de peur, voire d'insécurité chez la victime. 3, record 2, French, - traque%20furtive

Making calls to your friends and family through your normal telephone is becoming obsolete. It is now the norm for people to talk to their friends and family with instant messaging services such as Yahoo, AOL, and MSN. Another version of using your computer to communicate is using VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) [, i. e. ] a class of hardware and software that allows people to use the Internet for making telephone calls. One of the many advantages of this type of service is no surcharge. The amount you pay for this service is included in your monthly Internet fees. AOL is coming out with a new "Total Talk VoIP" that is to replace AOL Internet Phone. The difference being that with AOL Internet Phone it was available exclusively for those who were members of AOL. With Total Talk VoIP, broadband users throughout American and Canada will enjoy the convenience offered by AOL. 1, record 4, English, - Total%20Talk
