Chatting through the Internet has become one of the most popular services available. Conversations are held on a wide variety of topics. Participants can exchange ideas on common interests, hold group discussions, or just "shoot the breeze"!
Many businesses hold scheduled chat sessions, in which customers can chat with company representatives about new products or receive technical information and advice.
Universities and academic institutions have their own IRC servers. Only authorized users can log into these servers and join in on conversations.
