  1. Web Pages, Mostly by scotpurl · · Score: 4, Informative

    Think of a chatroom hooked to a web page. If you're on the web page, then some Java(tm) applet automatically sends you to the right channel on the right IRC server, then you can chat with a support person about that, or with other people using that same web application. The user doesn't have to load a seperate client in a seperate window, and then know what command syntax to send. Makes it more usable.

    Think more of merging IM with email. You open your email, and the From line indicates if the sender is online, or away. Click their name, and instant chat. Lotus has done it with Sametime, and it makes sense in some situations.
