[Reaper man]

I'm on IRC, just not in yer room.

Get your ass in my room! >:|

Get your ass in my room! >:|

Sounds kinky.

/me doesn't want angries

 

[bentacos]

Oh hi Ben. Good to see you around. Did you want your old account back?

meh.

 

[WatchSmart]

I think that IRC is from the 1980s.

 

[Reaper man]

I think that IRC is from the 1980s.

It is, and it's still used quite often today.

 

[Lenophis]

Reasons. I want them. Now.

*inhales*

The night after both of us realized you weren't banned in #romhacking.net, I lost my internet. On December 1, I got internet back, but at 10 hours a month.

I'm still hoping to improve my internet situation, but so far, this is what I'm stuck with.

They rebanned me. They just don't like me very much over there. ;p

Hope you get better internets soon though.

I don't think IRC really is used very often these days. It is really old.

Now we have:

social networking
web 2.0
folksonomies
user-generated content
podcasting
RedTube
The Blogosphere

Uh no. Millions of people still use it, even today. 2 of the channels I'm in contain well over 200 users.

 

[Maximum Potion]

Web 2.0 isn't real...

 

[WatchSmart]

I dunno. It just doesn't have the synergy of today's New Media. Know what I mean?

Uh no. Millions of people still use it, even today. 2 of the channels I'm in contain well over 200 users.

 

[Maximum Potion]

It's a chatroom. What do you want, a ''/f a (name)'' ''/f m yo, what's up?'' interface?

 

[WatchSmart]

I think it needs to be delivered via a cloud computing model. Or at least some sort of distributed computing mechanism.

 

[Maximum Potion]

You type a message and press enter, that's all you really need.

Just because something is old doesn't mean it needs to be all fancy and have clouds of whatever the fuck you're talking about.

 

[Reaper man]

I think it needs to be delivered via a cloud computing model. Or at least some sort of distributed computing mechanism.

You do realize that IRC networks are run on multiple servers, right?

 

[WatchSmart]

I'm aware of that, but I think it just needs to be more in tune with modern trends in Social Media.

 

[Reaper man]

No it doesn't. It does what it needs to do and it does it well. It's a PROTOCOL. Drastically changing it would have a huge detrimental effect on the community.

 

[WatchSmart]

But don't you think that it would work better if it properly embraced the realities of the current Semantic Web?

 

[Lillymon]

I'm aware of that, but I think it just needs to be more in tune with modern trends in Social Media.

What, you mean like Twitter?
