There IS chat on the web, tho it's kind of clunky. There are some
interesting things you can do with web chat that you can't do on IRC, like
embedding links in your conversation. Check out (it's been a while since
I've vistited these places, my apologies if the URLs are stale):
http://www.irsociety.com/webchat.html
http://www.infi.net:80/talker/
HTTP://WWW.PEACHWEB.COM/chat/chat.html
http://cybersight.com./cgi-bin/cs/ch/chat
Netscape's push-pull technology might make these a little more useful
someday, but for now, you've gotta talk or hit the reload button a lot to
make things work.
