(2003-07-03) Irc Integration

Joi Ito posted about his increasing use of IRC (vs blogging). I Commented some ideas about integrating IRC with other media: One integration idea would be to have your IRC presence visible on your WebLog. Similar to what you see on a few blogs about people being on/off IM. I guess you'd have to list any servers you're currently connected to, including maybe each channel (and what your handle is)... For people focused on 1-2 channels, I could see running a bot in each channel which would send a list of connected users to a server then hit from JavaScript on each blog... Another idea: if you "host" a channel, you could have a list on your blog of who's currently signed in. Full Time Network
