http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/ts/story.html?s=v/nm/19990724/ts/microsoft_aol_2.htmlThis is just the latest in the IM (Instant Messaging) battle that is brewing. One focus of the articles talks about developing standards for IM communication. I keep wondering to myself... Can IRC (Internet Relay Chat) be adapted to IM or IRC extended?
It really seems to be a shame to waste 20 or so years of a well defined protocol.
Just a thought...
Toodle-loooooooo........ Thomas
