Protocols: line-by-line versus character-by-character[edit]

The article could mention that some protocols update conversations line-by-line (e.g IRC) while others update character-by-character (e.g. google wave, AOL chat[1], talk (software)). pgr94 (talk) 16:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Real Time versus asynchronous communications[edit]

One current project which exemplifies Real Time Communication on the web is the eponymous WebRTC. LeeColleton (talk) 23:10, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

January 2022, clean up hat notes[edit]

The notability tag was removed since synchronous conferencing is not merely another name for chat, but is a specific kind of chat, as opposed to asynchronous conferencing which is a closely related but different kind of chat. Also removed the multiple issues tag, by virtue of it becoming inapplicable due to the more citations needed tag becoming the sole remaining issue with the article which is worthy of a hat note. 98.178.191.34 (talk) 23:17, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 25 April 2024[edit]

– These seem to be more common terms in recent technical papers, and are more unambiguous than "conferencing", which suggests group-based formal discussion (especially video chatting) rather than encompassing many kinds of communication. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
