The JobChat 2.0

A little history

Instant messaging or "chat" or "chat", allows the instant exchange of text messages between computers connected via the Web. As opposed to e-mail this medium is characterized by the fact that messages are displayed in near-real time and enable an interactive dialogue.

Contrary to what one might imagine the concept of "cat" has been around longer, thanks to orders "talk" on unix and "WinPopup" windows. The open standard protocol IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is meanwhile appeared in 1988.

The first advanced messaging systems (with authentication and presence management) exist since 1996 with ICQ created by the Israeli company Mirabilis, then in 1998 with Jabber protocol, free and open.

Since then, many instant messaging systems to closed, proprietary protocols have appeared (MSN, AIM, Google Talk, Lotus Notes, Yahoo Messenger, etc ...).

In 2004, the Jabber / XMPP is standardized as an open standard by the IETF, the standards organization of Internet protocols. The XMPP protocol has become the equal of the web (HTTP and HTTPS) and email (SMTP, POP and IMAP).

Note, too, "Webchat" to talk without any software that a web browser (Smail, Chatroulette, Chatango, etc ...) and software that allows webmasters to create Webchat (JWChat, Spark, etc. ...).

evolving, integrated instant messaging features voice and video through a webcam, but also all kinds of collaborative applications (whiteboard, text editing, games, etc..) sending automatic messages and notifications (supervision, "push" of information, etc.)..

Many programs allow to establish an audio / video communication between computers. The best known are Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype. The mobile phone enables a audio / video communication between 3G phones equipped with a camera.
